What is the school council?
The student council is made up of students from each year group. They are a group who are elected by their peers to represent the whole of the student body. They are the voice of the students in the school and help share the students ideas, interests and concerns with management.
How they get elected?
Our student council was elected in October.
Students, from each individual year group, were nominated by their fellow class mates to be their representative voice.
The student community is an integral partner in education , as a means of contributing to a more progressive and inclusive life of the school. This year, our very first meeting involved the nomination of specific roles and presentation of badges.
All student council members attended a leadership course in Trinity Youth services.
The course equipped them with a variety of skills, ranging from decision making skills, communication skills, group dynamics to conflict resolution. Each member was presented with a certificate on completion.
A new student council has been elected. The group consists of:-
First Year
Charlie Gunawardhana & Katie O’Neill
Second Year
Steven Conroy & Sophie Mc Donnell
Third Year
Adam Graham & Rebecca Mc Dermot
