Diversity Council
The SIS Diversity council aims to provide a platform for under-represented voices to be heart, promoting cross-cultural understanding, and drive a positive change. Students collaborating from year 7 to 13 are committed to foster a safe, support and inclusive environment for all students through education, advocacy, and community building. Our advocacy efforts have resulted in more inclusive policies, such as a gender-neutral dress code. Ultimately, we are building a more equitable and just school environment where every student is values for their identity and has equal access to opportunities.
