The School Council is the voice of the pupils. They listen to others and work tirelessly to improve the school for everyone.
Their primary aims are:
- To listen to the voice of all pupils in the school
- To be active participants in improving the school, the community and the world
- To be role models for others, taking responsibility for their privileged role
The School Council explore issues that affect everyone. They think about solutions to problems and work together to make school life the best it can be for everyone.
