Citywest Educate Together N. S. - Student Council

A Note From the Student Council

8/4/2024

We Have Been Busy!

Check out an update below, written by our sixth class pupils.

The Student Council has gotten new locks for the equipment boxes on the yard. We got combination locks so we wouldn't have to use keys.

We have also gotten a new suggestion box. Students put suggestions in the box and at the end of the year we will look at the suggestions and pick the ones that we think will help the school. This means that the students have a say in what happens in the school.

Finally, we are writing a letter to the Board of Management to get mirrors for the bathrooms. This was the most popular suggestion last year. We know that lots of people want mirrors so we will try and get them.

Thank you for your support!

New Student Council Elections 2022

17/10/2022

It's time to say goodbye to this fantastic bunch of young people and welcome a whole new group of children to represent the student's voice in our school.

The outgoing Student Council were amazing, full of energy, ideas, passion and enthusiasm. They had a lot of challenges with school closures and covid restrictions but were always so positive and creative and did lots of brilliant things for the school during their time on the SC.

It's now time to elect new Student Council representatives from 1st to 5th class. Last week members of the current SC visited classes and gave a presentation on what the Student Council entails, how to become a member and answer any questions.

We are looking forward to welcoming and working with our newly appointed members!!

Pyjama and Movie Day

20/12/2021

Finally we get to organise a safe fundraising event! This Wednesday it's Pyjama and Movie day in our school. The SC are very excited about this event, especially in what the money being raised is going towards. The SC have told their individual classes as SC representatives but now they need to announce it and remind the whole school. Names of children willing to speak over the intercom were put in a hat and one child was drawn out. Here's hoping the nerves won't kick in on Tuesday.

Here are some photos of the SC putting up posters they made to let the school community know it is happening.

Proud as punch with our posters!

Car park posters

8/12/2021

The car park can be a busy place in the mornings and the afternoons. The student council decided to come up with some helpful posters to guide adults and children on best practice when accessing the car park/school grounds at peak times. Lots of thought went into it.....who is the target audience,what important safety issues need addressing and how to get people's attention. The student council worked in teams with a specific area in mind and designed their posters. They have been sent to a profession printer and mounted on material suitable for outdoor use.

I think they did an amazing job. Here is what they came up with. Next job is to hang and display the posters around the school campus.

Elections in Lisa's class.

3/10/2021

WOW!! Amazing! It's unreal to see such interest, eagerness and commitment from the would be representatives wanting to join the SC. Remember these children are willing to give up (sacrifice more like it!) their yard time to be involved in what we do AND yard time is one of the best things about school (so many children have informed me!)
Here are the lovely pictures from Lisa's class .......

Please welcome our new SC member representing second class.
