Students who have been trained as Inclusion Ambassadors will:

  • Be informed about and sensitive towards people with disabilities, people of diverse cultural and religious backgrounds and people with intersex variations, diverse sexualities and gender backgrounds.
  • Promote advocacy for diversity and a culture of inclusiveness within the college and broader community.
  • Increase knowledge of the diverse backgrounds within BSSC and empower other students to advocate inclusive behaviours.
  • Role model inclusive behaviours and sensitively challenge discriminatory views and opinions.
  • Value and celebrate the diversity at BSSC by supporting BSSC events such as Cultural Diversity Week, Wellbeing Week and Respectful Relationships Day.
  • Work closely with other BSSC Inclusion Ambassadors.
  • Support partnerships with community organisations.
  • Communicate with and be a voice for the many diverse groups within the BSSC community.
  • Always maintain professionalism and clear boundaries in interactions with staff and students.

At the conclusion of the training students can decide if they wish to become a BSSC Inclusion Ambassador.
