The Pupils’ Council meets regularly to represent the ideas and opinions of all the pupils within the primary cycle. They work alongside with other members of the school community to maintain and improve their school environment helping thus to make it the kind of school where everyone’s opinion is important.

Representation

Representatives from p3, p4 and p5 classes are elected every school year. They represent their section and will act as messengers between the pupils, the teachers and the management. They election is anonymous and takes place in each class.

Pupils who wish to be part of the Council and run as candidates must prepare a campaign, either by form of speech, poster, logo, etc. and present this to their fellow pupils.
