What is the School Council?
The school council listens to the children's ideas and suggestions to improve
our school or change the way we do things at Hanley Swan. We look around for things that could be better and discuss what to do. Everyone gets a chance to
speak and when we’ve finished we vote on the best ideas and then start
working on changing things.
Who are the School Councillors?
School Councillors are two pupils from each class that represent the rest of the class.
A good representative will speak at the council meetings about things that
their class is interested in. They will also tell their class about what is going on in the council meetings and put the minutes up in the classroom.
