Our school council is made up of 17 pupils, 1 pupil representing each Y1-Y7 class, 1 pupil representing the LSC classes and 1 pupil representing the ASC classes.  A Year 7 pupil will represent the Y1, Y2, LSC and ASC classes whereas the other classes will be represented by an elected member of their own class.

We have a very active School Council this year and is made of children from P1 to P7. The School Council have been busy this year organizing fund raising events. At Halloween they organised a Dress up Day to raise money for the NSPCC; who came into our school and gave talks on how to keep safe.  They raised over £900 in sponsorship money for this charity.  So a big thank you for all your support.  On the last day of the Christmas term the school had a Christmas Jumper Day and raised £300.  This money will go towards supporting Cookstown High School’s Charity trip to Romania.

The School Council have also been involved in agreeing School rules, Class rules, Playground rules and rules for the dining hall. They would really appreciate it if you could also discuss these rules at home.  They have discussed the use of yellow and red cards for inappropriate behaviour and feel that this is a good idea.  They also said that they liked Golden time and that it was a nice reward.

The School Council keep themselves busy too by designing posters for our School events and giving talks in Assembly.
