Bio
Hayley Dureau developed a college-wide student leadership program, and has shown how genuine student voice can be used to improve student morale and connectedness to school.

Passionate about enhancing student learning by improving relationships between staff and students, Hayley introduced VicSRC's Teach the Teacher program at Mount Waverley Secondary College. She led a team of students to conduct their own research and look at the research of experts in the field, including Professor Hattie's research on Effect Size. Students led Professional Learning sessions where staff and students collaborated to create a teacher feedback pro forma that is now used college-wide by teaching staff to collect student feedback.

Hayley believes that student leadership has the potential to drive school improvement, and Teach the Teacher is one example of how students at Mount Waverley Secondary College have worked with staff to drive positive change, and have the opportunity to discuss their learning with their teachers. The work of the Teach the Teacher team was recognised by Professor John Hattie, and Hayley was the recipient of the 2015 VicSRC Teacher Advisor Award.
