Student Council Newsletter June 2011
Student Council 2011
We have a very active and interested Student Council at our school. 14 pupils from the school were voted onto the Council by their classmates after a rigorous election campaign. We are proud to be the only primary school in Kerry to have a Student Council at primary level. Guidance and training are provided by members of the Student Council committee.
What is the role of the Student Council ?
They are the voice of the pupils at the school, and the school is delighted to have an input from them on matters relating to the student body.

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

“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.”
