Students’ Council

At Inch National School, we believe in empowering our students and giving them a voice in shaping their school experience. Our Student Council plays a vital role in achieving this by providing a platform for students to voice their opinions, offer suggestions, and contribute to various aspects of school life.

Role of the Student Council:

  • Provide an opportunity for pupils to voice their opinions and offer suggestions on school matters.
  • Act as a channel of communication within the school, between students, and between home and school.
  • Encourage students to organise events and represent the school positively during these events.
  • Play a significant role in improving the school environment and fostering a positive school culture.

Election Process

  • Students from First to Sixth Class nominate themselves for a place on the Student Council.
  • Nominees engage in debates and canvassing within their classes.
  • Elections are held in each class, and two representatives from each class are elected to the Student Council for the academic year.
  • Elected representatives are expected to actively participate in meetings, activities, and be role models for other students.

Student Council Meetings:

  • Meetings are held once a fortnight, facilitated by a teacher.
  • Agenda items are collected from all classes prior to meetings, including topics suggested by students or brought forward by the teacher.
  • Discussions may cover various topics such as school rules, behaviour, health and safety, and extracurricular activities.
  • The Student Council reports the outcomes of meetings to the other classes.

Roles in School Activities:

  • The Student Council plays a significant role in organising school celebrations, fundraising events, special occasions, presentations, and implementing new initiatives.
  • They contribute to events like Friendship Week, cake sales, Christmas concerts, book fairs, and hosting visitors to the school.

The active involvement of our Student Council representatives contributes to a positive and inclusive school environment at Inch National School.
