Student Council Meeting 11-10-17
We had our first official Student Council today, during which we discussed the role of the Student Council and delegated responsiblilities. Here are some of the things we decided on:
- Litter Wardens: Darragh, Claudine and Jesse will be wardens at small break and Katie, Fardeen and Saoirse will be wardens at lunch.
- Librarians: Katie and Sean are responsible for ensuring the library is kept in order. The will check and tidy it every Friday
- Suggestion boxes: Each classroom from 1st-6th will have a suggestion box, where pupils can express concerns, share ideas or suggest ways of improving the school.
- Anti-bullying Slogan and Posters: The student council decided on "Kind hands, kind feet, kind voices" as the school anti-bullying slogan. They will each make a poster to relay this message and they will be placed around the school.
- Bake sale feedback: Members felt the bake sale went really well, but decided they needed to be more organised at the start to ensure everyone gets back their own tins. They also suggested that the Student Council invest in lots of sandwich bags and keep them just for bake sales.
Student Council Meeting 25-10-17
The main objective of this meeting was to read and discuss the contents of the suggestion boxes that have been placed in the classrooms. The purpose of the suggestion boxes is to enable pupils to share their concerns and ideas for improving the school. We gained so much from reading the feedback so keep the ideas rolling in!! Here are some examples of what students are suggesting so far:
1. Can we have a girls football team?
2. Get more foam footballs for the yard
3. More bake sales and colours days
4. Make sure there is no bullying in the school
5. Treat everyone fairly
Having read and discussed the suggestions we spoke to the classes about their ideas and answered any questions that people had.
During this meeting we gathered together the anti-bullying posters that we made incorporating our school slogan "Kind hands, kind feet, king voices". Here is a sample of the posters!
