Abstract
The potential of students to contribute to school improvement processes is an emerging area of research focus informing educational change theory and practice. This paper reports on a case study of the innovative and transformative improvement of a failing public high school in Melbourne, Australia. Using data from interviews with school leaders, teachers, students and parents, as well as observations and document analysis, this paper examines how a transformational leadership approach that prioritised student voice and agency in learning and whole school decision making resulted in significant improvement in enrolment and achievement measures.
