Our Student Council hard at work during lunch time today. Thank you to Ms. Lawlor and all members of the Council.
The aim of the student council is to represent the views and interests of students in the running of the school. They listen to what their peers have to say and report back on any issues. It gives them an opportunity to express themselves and take responsibility.
Each form class elects a student rep and deputy rep in the first term to represent them on the Council. A new rep and deputy can be chosen every year for your class. The first years will elect their representatives before October midterm. At the beginning of each academic year, the new officers for chairperson, deputy chairperson, treasurer, secretary, and P.R.O are elected. The principal also gives out the badges to all reps. Ms. Lalor is the Student Liaison Officer.
Being on the Student Council allows you to represent your class and your classes voice. Student council is a great way to get your thoughts on the school across. For example, trousers have now been introduced into the school uniform via Student Council action.
The student council also organises a number of events throughout the school year.
