School Council

SCHOOL COUNCIL

Our ‘School Council' consists of 14 pupils; a boy and a girl, elected by their peers from Years 1-6. This group meets with Miss Cole once a month, usually on a Thursday afternoon. Like many meetings, there is an agenda and minutes are taken by our secretaries. The School Council makes decisions, after consulting with their peers, about changes in our school.

WHY DO WE NEED A SCHOOL COUNCIL?

For many years, all the decisions about children were made by adults. But adults don’t always make the right decisions, sometimes because they haven’t talked to the children about the issue. By being on the School Council the children are able to help the adults in our School make the right decisions for the children and the School.

WHAT IS THE JOB OF A SCHOOL COUNCILLOR?

• To go to School Council meetings and take part in discussions
• To let your class know what was talked about at the meetings
• To take the ideas and views of your classmates to the Council
• To be involved in activities that the School Council runs
• To lead by example - always showing good behaviour to others
