DASP Student Voice

The DASP Student Voice is a representative body of the students across all DASP schools. Meetings are hosted by different schools every term and a wide range of issues are raised from the environment to sports and music.[1] Most recently, they have been discussing the Student Voice Olympic Dreams Project led by The Thomas Hardye School and their partnership with The Doon School in India.[2] Another big project has been the DASP Olympic Torch Relay,<ref>Dorchester Area Schools Partnership’s Olympic torch makes its final voyage http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/localnews/9515939.
