School Council
n Every September, each form in the Junior School elects a School Council Representative. Interested candidates prepare a short speech to deliver to their classmates to explain why they would be suitable for the role. Following these, we use a transferable voting system where the students rank their preferred candidates. Finally, ballots are counted by Form Tutors and results are announced in assembly. This is when the hard work begins!
School Council Representatives meet regularly to discuss the boys’ opinions on how we can improve our school, come up with solutions to issues that arise, and share feedback gathered from their form groups.
This year, amongst other things, the boys came up with an idea for a new Pokémon Club (helping to solve some playground disagreements) and designed and implemented a new playground timetable, which they introduced to the rest of the Junior School in an assembly. As part of the whole College Eco Week in the Michaelmas Term, they also had a meeting with Peter Milne from Target 4 Green, who helped the boys come up with new sustainability initiatives to discuss and implement within their forms.
