SA SRC Seeing Ourselves campaign proposes regular diversity reviews to ensure SA schools are inclusive of all students.
A poll of more than 750 high school students reveals many students are unaware of youth-led school-based programs to celebrate or support diversity amongst students.
Members of the SA SRC’s Seeing Ourselves campaign aim to change this with their proposal to introduce a regular diversity review of a school’s policies, curriculum, and co-curricular groups, to ensure these embrace diversity and inclusiveness, both in principle and in practice. Importantly, the review must be undertaken using mechanisms that involve students as co-designers and contributors.
Young people in South Australia are clear they want their schools to be places that support inclusiveness and diversity, acknowledging that students have differing sexualities and gender identities, mental and physical disabilities, and diversity in religious practices and cultural backgrounds.
