SCHOOL COUNCIL

Making our school the best it can be...

Our School Council gives all the children in the school a voice through the representatives that have been chosen by each class. Work as a School Councillor helps to put Article 12 of the Rights of a Child by the United Nations Conventions into practice. Article 12 says:

“Children have the right to say what they think should happen, when adults are making decisions that affect them, and to have their opinions taken into account.”

Key skills of speaking, listening and teamwork are key in the role of a School Councillor. Opinions will be greatly valued and appreciated when decisions are made regarding everyone’s education.

If children have any ideas or opinions that they would like to share, they can speak to one of the School Council Reps.

Remember – School Council is here to help the school be the best it can be!

Play your part!
