Student Speak Up Conference@Eastdale

Students from secondary schools in Learning Centre 4 (LC4) came together for an afternoon to bring their thoughts and ideas around 4 different questions:

1.     What is the role of schools, teachers, parents and community in ensuring that all students have access to exemplary programs?

2.     What knowledge, skills and abilities do secondary students need to acquire for the future in post-secondary education and/or school-to-career opportunities?

3.     How would you design secondary school programs and learning spaces? What barriers would you remove?

4.     What changes could be made to the school calendar, the clock and the timetable to make learning more flexible and engaging for students? Describe the pros and cons of the possible changes.

Each school team shared their findings and strategized how to bring their voices back to their 

respective school communities and to make a difference.
