Overview
SpeakUp is a platform launched under the Applied CS Club to give students an anonymous and accessible way to share feedback and suggestions with the Senior Student Leadership Team. It bridges the gap between student voice and school decision-making.
In a school of over a thousand students, not everyone feels comfortable raising concerns directly. SpeakUp provides a safe, structured channel for honest feedback - empowering students to shape their own school experience.
Full Anonymity
Zero-knowledge architecture ensures student identities are never stored or traceable.
Leadership Buy-In
Presented to the prefect team and Mr. Trivic, with direct input shaping the platform's design.
Moderation System
Built-in content moderation and follow-up mechanisms to ensure constructive, actionable feedback.
Development
The SpeakUp team presented the platform to the current prefect team and to Mr. Trivic, where specific suggestions were raised around moderation, clarity of responses, and follow-up mechanisms. These discussions have directly informed further changes to the platform ahead of wider rollout.
The team has iterated on the UI to make submissions as frictionless as possible, while building a backend that categorises and routes feedback to the relevant student leaders.
