School Council

The school council is a fantastic platform that allows pupils to have their say about the running of their school. Led by children, it provides them with the opportunity to express their opinions, raise concerns, and suggest improvements. This initiative empowers students, giving them a strong sense of ownership and responsibility for their educational environment.

Each council typically comprises representatives from different classes, ensuring that every pupil’s voice is heard. Through regular meetings, the council discusses various topics, from playground equipment to changes in school policies. This input can positively impact the entire community, fostering a sense of togetherness and collaboration among students, teachers, and even parents.

Moreover, participating in the school council enhances vital skills such as leadership, teamwork, and communication, which are essential for the future. It’s not just about making changes in school; it’s about nurturing capable individuals who can voice their opinions in society as a whole. School council is a brilliant way for pupils to engage actively in our community, making their learning environment better for everyone involved.

School Council Aims 2025—2026

1. Listening to Everyone

This year, we want every student to feel confident sharing their ideas. When we listen to each other, amazing things can happen! Our school council will make sure every voice is heard — big ideas, small ideas, and everything in-between. Together, we can help our school grow into an even better place for everyone.

2. Making Changes Together

This year, our school council will work on fun ideas that students share with us. We’ll listen to what everyone thinks and choose projects that can help make our school even better. Maybe we’ll start a gardening club, add more recycling spots, or plan new activities. Together, we’ll pick goals for the year and work step-by-step to make them happen!

3. Learning Responsibility

Being part of the school council is kind of like having an important job at school. You learn how to listen to others, make plans, and help make good choices. You also learn how to look after our school and the environment. It’s a bit like being on a team of superheroes who work together to solve problems and take care of the planet!

4. Building a Caring Community
When everyone has a chance to share their ideas and feelings, it helps build a caring school community. This includes thinking about how we can keep our school clean, green, and welcoming for everyone. The school council also works alongside other leaders in the school — like eco-leaders, class representatives, and teachers — to make sure we all support each other and our environment. Together, we can help everyone feel happy, safe, and included.
