Student Leadership

Student Council

All of our students are encouraged to join in with the development of our school community. Year groups from 1st to 6th year are represented on the Student Council through Class Prefects. A Student Council Chairperson/Deputy Chairperson are also elected.

The aim of the Student Council is to promote the interests of the school and the involvement of the students in the affairs of the school in cooperation with the Board of Management, parents and teachers. This partnership works for the benefit of the school and its students. The Student Council works with a liaison teacher and meets once a week.
