Student Council 

We are delighted to have a Student Council in our school. 

The aim of the Student Council at primary level is to provide students with greater involvement in the decision making procedures of their school and to help them learn about how democracy works. In Quignamanger N.S., two children from third, fourth, fifth and sixth class are elected by secret ballot and are appointed as representatives for their class to the council for the duration of the school year. Children in the senior classes can run campaigns asking their fellow students to vote for them ahead of the election. Each chosen pupil represents their own class, as well as a class from the junior end of the school. 

Student Council meets once per month. These meetings are facilitated by the Deputy Principal with council representatives collecting ideas and suggestions for the agenda from each class ahead of each meeting. Suggestions are then discussed, prioritised and are brought to the attention of the school’s principal and to staff meetings.
