Student Council
The Strathearn School Council is an elected body of pupils whose purpose is to represent their classes and to be a forum for active and constructive pupil input into the daily life of the School community.
It gathers the thoughts and feelings of pupils about issues that are important to them. These issues are addressed in formal meetings, and the Council engages with school leaders to tackle a wide range of whole school matters.
Our School Council meets at least once per month during the academic year and has representation from all thirty-three form classes across the School. The meetings are chaired by the Student Chair and Vice Chair who are Sixth Form students appointed to the role.
Over the years, the School Council representatives have played their part in shaping new policies such as the Positive Behaviour Policy while also lobbying for improved facilities. When a recent School Council Representative was asked about her experience on School Council, she responded:
“ It was really worthwhile. Everyone listened to everyone’s ideas and it was such a supportive atmosphere.”
We truly value the role School Council plays in shaping partnership between pupils and staff to the benefit of the whole School community.
