Beneavin College – Student Council

Beneavin College Student Council is a group of students in the school, who are elected by their classmates, to help with the running of the school.

Work of the Council

  • Provides a Voice for students to be heard by the staff and school management

-If something is bothering students, they can present this problem to the Principal via     the Student Council.

– School management finds out students opinions via the student council.

– Visiting guests such as TD’s, local councillors would speak to the Student Council and get their opinion on issues

 

  • A way for students to participate in the running of the school, by having a positive impact on issues affecting students in the school and trying to make positive changes in the school.

Ex: rules, uniform, discipline issues, staff-student relations

Is a valuable resource for the school

Help out with extra-curricular events

e.g: sports day, opening evening, charity fund raising.

 

  • Student Council members develop communication and leadership skills, responsibility and accountability.

They can get valuable experience that would look good on a CV for future job hunting.
