Stude Student Co nt Counc uncil il

What is it all about?

What is it all about?

• Student councils exist in many schools but

they have different roles and different responsibilities.

• Some schools have a council in name alone,

and they do very little.

• We are looking for our school council to have

a wider role in shaping the future of our school. .

The plan

• Each base group, including sixth formers will

vote for a student council representative (also known as base captain).

• These pupils will attend a student council

meeting which will happen every two weeks.

• Students will meet each week with Mr Phillips

who will help to chair the meetings.

The plan

• The role of the council is in truth up to the

council, but in general, pupils will have a say in things like…..

• The general day to day running of school life
• Meeting with the Head and deputy heads to help

to shape policies such as merits and rewards systems and behaviour.

• Meeting with Governors to discuss the vision for

the school.

• Helping to interview new staff members on

interview days

Base captain role explained

• You will be required to meet with the school

council once every 2 weeks as a minimum.

• You may be asked to give up some lunch times

and after schools to meet with governors and the head.

• You will be expected to help lead and develop the

school.

• You will also get the opportunity to go out on

trips to places around the country to look at democracy in action.

So what is next?

Friday 15th will be Base captain election day Friday 22nd will be election day where we will be voting for the following

• Head Boy and Head Girl (Year 13)
• House Captains (Year 8 -11)

How do you vote and who do you get to vote for?

• You have the chance to vote for the Head Girl

and Head Boy roles as well as possibly deputy roles

• You also vote for the base representative in

your base.

• Remember make your decision on how much

you trust their ability to help lead the school, not just because your friend is voting that way.
