School Council
A school council is a body of pupils set up to represent all pupils on issues that affect them; anything from what is sold to eat at playtime to changes in school buildings. The council is representative of the views of all the children who are all given opportunities to have a ‘voice’. This may be through class circle times, class councils, or a suggestions book, which may all feed ideas in to the main school council.
Each new member is elected, following a democratic ‘election’ by secret ballot, to identify councillors for each class.
