Student Council

Good Afternoon,
Last week, I spoke to the school about the new student council which will be formed this month. The Student Council will be made up of a boy and girl in each class from P4 to P7. The elected children will form an important part of our Pupil Voice. The elected representatives will collect ideas from their class and from the P1-P3 classes. They will also pass on important information and announcements to their class.

Children who are interested can get a speech template from their teacher and will be performing their speech to their class. Elections will take place next week (date to be confirmed). 

The main focus of the Student Council this year will be, ‘Our Values in St Mary’s’. There will be a value each month that the school will be focusing on and it will be the job of the Student Council to develop ideas on how we can live that value in our everyday school lives. The values are as follows: Honesty, Faith, Friendship, Achieve, Respect, Resilience, Creativity. This work had begun last year and we hope to build on the fantastic work done by last year's School Council. 

The school’s motto is, "We play, we learn, we grow together" and is an important part of everything we do in our school. Last year's School Council chose the motto 'Vox Filiorium' meaning 'Voice of the children'. 

Thank you,
Mr Herbert
