On 10 April, staff and students from across the state attended the Champion Schools Postcards Awards at the Festival’s Centre.
REC leaders Gunveer and Benita joined them as representatives of the 44 ‘Champion Schools’ who have participated in the Commissioner’s Student Voice Postcards initiative every year since it commenced in 2019.
Over the six years, the Commissioner for Children and Young People (pictured with our students) received an extraordinary 82,544 postcards from children attending 576 schools across South Australia. Together with their students, schools have helped the Commissioner produce this large and important dataset, which will continue to be of great value to researchers, policy makers, and decision makers.
