A school council is a formal group of pupils who act as representatives of their classmates in discussing school issues with the Headteacher and staff. It’s a brilliant way of representing and contributing to Pupil Voice in your school.
Students are elected to represent the views of all pupils and also to improve their school. "School council" means all kinds of school-based groups run by students, including student forums and youth parliaments. They help to make decisions about how the school is run and take on projects that support the children’s learning and development, such as organising charity events, representing the school at outside events or ensuring the school is environmentally friendly. School councils are usually elected annually by the other children. A school council does a number of things:
A school council usually meets with a teacher present to discuss and sort out problems. These could include school lunches, behaviour or ideas for fundraising events.
Members of the school council are responsible for carrying out the ideas that have been agreed upon, writing newspaper articles, or meeting with catering staff.
Each year, every class will elect two representatives to be members of the school council.
My name is Lewis. I am in year 9 and I represent Oaks.
I enjoy going out with my friends and playing football.
My name is Kai, I'm in year 10 and I represent Sycamore 1.
I like fishing, motorbiking and spending time with my mates. I like The Kassia Academy because it treats everyone fairly.
My name is Lewis. I am in year 9 and I represent Oaks.
In my spare time I enjoy racking up Just Eat rewards. What I enjoy about Kassia is playing football. The reason why I would like to be on the student council is because I would like a say in what we do for our reward trips.
