Pupil Groups

The School Council enables pupils to take an active role in the life of the school. The children can take responsibility and help improve behaviour, they can become involved, where appropriate, in some of the decision making that takes place in the school.

The School Council lets the children solve problems fairly and is a forum that allows them to take part in discussions on various topics raised in the school. Through the School Council pupils to learn how to talk about things that affect them, it helps make them better listeners. Pupils learn the appropriate skills to arrange, run and record meetings through presenting an agenda.
