Our Student Council was set up in October 2024 and continues to be extremely successful. Children from 5th and 6th class are chosen to represent and be the voice of the student body.
Being selected for the Student Council is a true privilege! One must consistently demonstrate reliability, showing that others can count on you to follow through on responsibilities. Friendliness and respect are equally essential, as they foster a welcoming environment where every student feels heard and valued. Confidence also plays a key part – Student Council members often speak on behalf of others and must do so with assurance and integrity. Being helpful and kind shows a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of others. A Student Council member must be a team player, ready to collaborate, listen, and contribute towards shared goals.
Creating a manifesto is a key part of the process, which must then be presented in front of a panel of judges. These manifestos can take many forms: written, PowerPoint, poster, even a song – whatever showcases your best self!
Throughout the academic year, the Student Council carry out a range of important duties. They represent our school at different events, liaise with the HSCL when organising events for parents in the community, greet visitors/parents at the school gate, meet as a group and discuss school improvements, set up the school hall for assemblies/events and guest performances and create a polling system for student voice. We love seeing children getting involved in school life and making a difference!
The Student Council aims to ensure that students are actively involved in decision-making, giving them a meaningful voice in our school community and empowering them to participate in the growth and development of Strawberry Hill N.S.!
