Download our Information Booklet Student Leadership Council – Your Voice, Your College
At King Edward’s, the Student Leadership Council (SLC) plays a key role in ensuring student voice is heard, valued, and acted upon.
The SLC replaces the previous Student Union model and introduces a refreshed approach to student leadership. Members apply for clearly defined roles and are appointed through a structured process that includes an application, interview, and student vote. This ensures representatives are committed, accountable and ready to take on meaningful responsibility.
The Student Leadership Council is made up of students who focus on specific areas of college life, including events and activities, communication, community and charity work, and student wellbeing. By working together, the Council helps shape initiatives, support college-wide events and contribute to discussions that impact the student experience.
Students in Year 12 can apply to join the Shadow Student Leadership Council part-way through the academic year. Shadow members observe and support the work of the Council before stepping into full roles the following year, ensuring continuity and effective student leadership.
The Student Leadership Council works closely with college staff and leadership teams to share student priorities, provide feedback and support positive change across the college community.
If you have an idea, concern or suggestion, the Student Leadership Council is here to listen and help your voice be heard.
Current President – Daniel
‘For me, being the new President of the SLC means dedication to not only the college, but the life of each individual student. It means I can embody what it means to study at KEDST, while achieving meaningful goals with my incredible team behind me. I aim to come out of my role, knowing that during my time, I was able to deliver a memorable college experience for my peers, varying from the events we hold to the policies we introduce. It all ultimately comes down to providing for my community.’
