D.10 Student-Led Governance: Building Safe, Empowering, and Inclusive Communities in a Democratic School 

  • Percy Baxter 1 Gheringhap Street Geelong, VIC, 3220 Australia (map)

Humanitas High School, a democratic school where student voice is at the heart of governance, proposes an interactive panel discussion led by a small group of our students. This session will explore how inclusive, student-led governance practices can create safe and supportive school communities while empowering young people to actively shape their educational experience. Our students will share firsthand insights into the decision-making processes at our school, where students hold significant roles in shaping school policies, resolving conflicts, and driving initiatives. Through their stories, they will highlight the transformative power of student agency and how governance grounded in shared responsibility fosters a safe, inclusive, and future-focused learning environment. This session invites participants to engage in dynamic discussions and activities aimed at sharing innovative strategies for integrating student voice into school governance and creating supportive educational ecosystems.
