The Morisset High School Junior Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (JAECG) is a student committee of Morisset High School that was established by the Itji-Marru Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG) and functions as an independent subcommittee of the AECG. \
Membership of the JAECG is open to Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal students. It is encouraged that Aboriginal Students hold executive positions. JAECG members report to the Itji-Marru AECG on school activities and are offered mentorship and guidance from the members of the Itji-Marru AECG.
Student Voice
The JAECG committee is a platform that gives students a voice and agency within their school community. Student voice is when students actively participate in the decision-making at school on things that shape their educational experiences.
Supporting Aboriginal students’ voices, and having their ideas and opinions considered, establishes a student’s sense of belonging, and positive relationships with teachers and peers and acknowledges their diverse and unique cultural identity.
The JAECG collaborating with the school community is a consultative process that allows for a stronger representation of Aboriginal Cultures throughout the school environment.
