School Council

​Each year group has 2 school councillors, who applied for the role and were then chosen by their peers. This is a great honour as they represent their class at school council meetings.
 
The school councillors for the academic year 2018/19 are: 
  • Y6 Pheobe, Ruby and Tom L
  • Y5 Sean and Millie
  • Y4 Ben and Georgia
  • Y3 Amelie and James
  • Y2 Olympia and Zach
  • Y1 Joel and Maisie
  • YR Sienna and Michael

Supported by Mrs Browne, the children meet every half term and discuss matters of interest to their class.  

Currently the children are working to educate their peers about the United Nations Rights of the Child convention supporting Mrs Burwood in her role to ensure that St Benedict's Catholic Primary School is a Rights Respecting School.  So far, they have designed posters and helped to create class displays to highlight the importance of respecting others.

​​The school council were visited by Geoff Christiansen from Ugandaid in December. He told them all about the school he supports in Uganda. Over the coming months the school council will be communicating with the school in Uganda and learn about life for children there. 

​Each class has produced a class charter. The class chose the articles that were most important to them and then reflected on the children's responsibilities in upholding these rights within school. Each month, the school council will introduce a new right and children will reflect upon this throughout the month.
