Students from Stratford College and The High School came together this week (Monday 19th October) for an inspiring, collaborative meeting focused on tackling key issues of concern across our student bodies. Active citizenship was at the core of this meeting.

To ensure real progress, attendees broke out into dedicated, student-led subcommittees, each tasked with driving initiatives in specific areas such as campus sustainability, student wellbeing, and community outreach. The energy in the room was fantastic as students shared perspectives, identified shared challenges, and brainstormed actionable solutions. The productive afternoon wrapped up with well-deserved refreshments, giving everyone a chance to network, chat informally, and strengthen our lovely connection as neighbouring schools.

We look forward to seeing the incredible impact these subcommittees will make in the coming months!

Student Council Liaison
