Vic Students to Help Shape their Schools

Victorian students will have more input into their schools, when student members are included on all government secondary school councils from next year.

Courtney had the story on the Breaky Flow.

Minister for Education James Merlino announced students will have full voting rights as part of the Governing Council, and consultation with students, parents, principals, teachers and support staff is about to start, ahead of the 2018 rollout.

"Young people should have a say in the future direction of their school. "We want our kids to be future leaders in our communities and developing these skills is a crucial step in making that happen," he said.
