Proserpine State High School Student Reid Ogden represented the school at the Ministerial Student Advisory Council meeting in Brisbane last week and the school are extremely proud of him.
Reid said it was a privilege to be one of 18 students to represent their individual schools and have his voice heard by the panel about policies and rules for students attending school.
Some topics that were discussed and reviewed by the council were the ‘Away For The Day' mobile phone policy, senior schooling opportunities and ATAR pathways.
Minister for Education and Minister for Youth Justice, Dianne Farmer MP was in attendance and met the students.
In 2018, the Honourable Grace Grace MP, Minister for Education, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Racing established the Ministerial Student Advisory Council.
The initiative was designed to give Queensland students an opportunity to provide feedback and advice about a range of education matters and to share their perspectives on important education matters and the impact of broader issues on learning.
Student feedback and ideas from advisory council meetings help to inform future government policy and program development.
The advisory council meet twice a year or as required if there is a particular matter to be discussed.
