The Bureau of Students is a bureau of the Parliament of Education. It keeps the rights of students in Commonwealth schools, and hears their complaints through the Student Rights Council. It was established in 1974 and is headquartered at Pupils’ House in Cama.

The Atlantic Model places an emphasis on synchronous authority, which protects certain student rights but retains the premise of the teacher as a classroom authority. Parents have no role in school matters, and so a parent who objects to something may only complain on the child’s behalf. Students vote on excursions, the school garden and the clubs they run, but not on the rules, and the Student Democracy Commission oversees the practice across the Commonwealth.

Standards of behaviour are high. Serious harm, including bullying that continues after a school has dealt with it, is referred to the Student Safety Commission and is no longer the school’s to handle. The bureau also keeps the approved schools for detained juveniles, most of them in Cama.
