It's newsletter time again! Well done and thank you to the student council and their mentors for producing a wonderful record of their activities this year.

The council have used their remaining funds (with some help from the board of management!) to purchase a giant Connect 4 game for the yard. It should arrive Thursday.

TWO MAYORS AT STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTION AT TRALEE EDUCATE TOGETHER NS

An historic day took place at Tralee Educate Together NS on Friday 18th October 2013, when TWO Mayors of Tralee Town Council attended the counting of votes for the annual Student Council election.  This will be the last time that a Mayor of Tralee Town Council will attend such an event – due to the abolition of Town Councils planned for next year.     

The pupils had a busy week doing posters and making speeches, AND making promises to their classmates – such as holding a pet day, game day, having more time to work in the school garden, and of course, no homework!  The Mayor, Cllr Pat Hussey and Deputy Mayor, Cllr. Mairead Fernane shared some of their election experiences with the pupils, counted the votes and announced the winners to the delight of the school community. 

We hope that election promises made will be upheld by the new Student Council members!

What the Student Council do:

  • Meet on a regular basis
  • Learn about decision-making, how to hold meetings, understand different roles of Officers, communication skills, Minutes, Agenda.
  • Liaise with their classmates – get feedback about the school to bring back to Management
  • Meet with the Principal to discuss matters that are important to the student body
  • Organise activities and events for the school
  • Have input into decisions made – e.g. theme for parade, Health and Safety Statement, classroom resources.

Here’s what the members think about being on the Student Council……

“I like being on the Student Council because you can decide what stuff your school can possibly do.”

“I like how we’re so involved in the school.  I feel a sense of accomplishment after the election and our event.”

“I like going to meetings, doing my job.  I liked helping to organise the fundraiser, and I just like being on it.”

“I like everything about the Student council.  I like talking about things that would make school better.”

“I like being on the PR Team since I got to do the posters, and coming up with ideas to make this school a better place.”

“I like being on the Student Council.  I like it because people listen to you – they voted for me.  It makes me feel good like I can be trusted to represent my class.”
“I like that we do lots of activities, and we have roles.”

“Doing posters for fundraisers, etc.  Attending Student Council meetings.”
