What is Student Voice at NPS?

Student voice at Nhulunbuy Primary School, is the collection of student values, opinions, beliefs and perspectives which lead to authentic contributions in decision making and instructional approaches that are based on student choices, interests, passions and ambitions.  The Student Representative Council collect student voice using classroom parking lots. Each fortnight, students attend meetings, discussing and advocating the collective student voice.

The Beautification Project is heavily driven by the Student Representative Council (SRC) who represent the voice of NPS students.
