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!

- 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
