Pupil Voice Group
Our Voice Matters
We are a group of pupils from across the school who work together to make sure that your voice and opinions are heard. We meet once a month in separate junior (S1-3) and senior (S4-6) groups and discuss lots of topics that impact pupils in the school. If you would like us to discuss anything on your behalf, just let us know by scanning the QR code on the poster that is in every classroom.
We also love to be involved in school events and initiatives. Recently we have:
· Hosted events at the Community and Family Fun Day
· Welcomed visitors to talk to us about reusable and sustainable period products
· Put together Welcome Packs for new S1 pupils
· Taken part in consultation events with Falkirk Council and Reddingmuirhead and Wallacestone Community Council
If you think the Pupil Voice Group is something you would like to be involved in, we’d love to have you: everyone is welcome! Watch out for us in assemblies and on your Year Group Teams, where we will share information about how you can join.
