The Role of the Student Council
Provide an opportunity for pupils to voice their opinions and offer suggestions in relation to many aspects of school life.
Act as a channel of communication within the school organisation, between pupils and between home and school.
Encourage pupils to organise events and to represent the school in a positive way during these events.
Offer an opportunity for all pupils to voice their opinions on proposed changes and thereby play an important role in improving our school.
An election campaign is held by pupils who wish to be on the student council every year in September/ October and their peers decide who they wish to represent them on this council.
