Students are hoping to gain a greater say in how the English Schools Foundation operates their schools, with plans under way to establish a student council.
Thirty student leaders from across the foundation's six secondary schools are taking part in a two-day 'Sixth Form Leadership Forum' to discuss how they will establish the ESF-wide council.
The forum, which began yesterday and concludes this afternoon at the ESF's education development centre at West Island School, is the brainchild of Island School former head boy, Michael Lok Hui-yin, 18.
'It's been suggested by many parents, teachers and students that there should be some sort of network to link up ESF secondary schools,' he said.
The Year 13 student said it was important that the students got together to determine how the council would be established.
The first day of the forum was devoted to discussing the idea of giving students a voice and student leadership.
Today students are expected to discuss the structure of the council and how students will be elected. Students will vote on how the council should be structured.
