We welcome the newly elected Pupil Council that will meet for session 2025 /2026.
Congratulation to all the new members.
They will be holding meetings throughout the year acting upon pupils' voices and whole school initiatives.
The Farr High School Pupil Council is a student elected body that meets monthly to discuss issues, make decisions and put forward ideas that students have. Aided by Mrs Wilkinson, each session students democratically select 3 areas of focus that guide their decisions for the year. Minutes for meetings are shared with all students via the Pupil Voice Google Classroom, where students can leave comments or ask questions.
Farr High School's Pupil Council has become an integral part of our culture and has raised the profile of our pupils' right to have their voices heard and listened to . Previous successes and ideas have included major decisions such as fundraising and allocating funding for school trips lobbying for the return of our school minibus and working with LGBT Youth Scotland to review their website, to installing a water cooler in the main building!.
Our Pupil Council is very active and a very important part of our school.

What does the Pupil Council mean to you?
“Every year two pupils from each year group are elected by their peers to join Farr High Pupil Council. We usually meet once a month or when the need arises to discuss an urgent matter. Each meeting agenda is based on matters brought up by pupils through our suggestions box or on our google classroom and by whole school issues or topics in need of a pupil voice. Our head teacher is always keen to involve us at the start of any new plan or idea that the school happen to be working on during the year. It’s a great responsibility being a member of the pupil council as it gives pupils at Farr the chance to have a strong voice, be listened to and help be part of improving the quality of school life and wellbeing”.
