The Student Council represents the voice of students in a school. Made up of elected student representatives from different classes, its main role is to improve school life by sharing students’ ideas, concerns, and suggestions with teachers and school management.

Some key activities of a Student Council include:

• Organising events and fundraisers for school projects or charities.
• Promoting a positive school environment by encouraging respect and inclusion.
• Working on initiatives such as improving school facilities or introducing new activities.
• Acting as a link between students and staff to address issues that affect student life.

By being part of a Student Council, students learn leadership, teamwork, and responsibility while making a meaningful impact on their school community.

The Student Council meet regularly.  Upcoming events in the school term are discussed or ideas that the students want to bring up at these meetings.

At the beginning of the school year each child votes for the Student Council President and Vice President from Junior Infants upwards. This is taken very seriously by all! Canvassing takes place a week before the election and the candidates visit each class and put forward their ideas.  Nominees have campaign managers. Numerous skills are utilised and developed in the canvassing process!

Some of the ideas this year that were put in place include school disco (senior classes) movie night for the whole school, new yard system, Trip away for 5^th/6th, school graduation, fundraising for playground toys/sports day etc.
