My school is a very helpful school, and is a mixed school, I have been there for 8 months.

The thing that I like in my school is that they like to help. My school helps a lot people that have just arrived now in the country, they support you a lot by talking with you, helping you with your work.

I don’t know a lot about the student voice.
What has it changed in your school?
Nothing (that I know about yet).
What would you most like to change about your school?
I would like to change the uniform, because when it’s hot you can’t take it off.
If you could set up an Action Team about anything in your school what would it be about and what would it do?
It would be about the uniform, we would make a meeting to talk about it.
Do you think it’s important for schools to listen to their students? Why/why not?
Yes, because we have the right to speak and we have the right to share our ideas.
What advice would you give to schools about how to involve young people in decision-making?
They should make projects and make meetings for parents, students and teachers.
