MCS VOICE AND STUDENT COUNCIL
The educational experience at MCS is enhanced by the inclusion of the student voice. The Student Council is a body that represents all of the students in the school and which liaises with the staff and management on issues that affect students. It also organises events for students, such as Fun Days, Pride Weeks and the Open Forum. The Student Council operates from the Student Council office, located on the ground floor. When student opinions are heard and are taken into account, students experience better relationships with their teachers and an increased sense of belonging and connection to their school. This, in turn, impacts on student attainment and achievement.
The Student Council is the most effective way for students to get involved and voice their opinions in our school. Results of our survey have found that the majority of students surveyed did not feel they had a voice and were unaware of the role the Student Council plays in our school.
According to our school journal “The Student Council is a body that represents all students in the school and liaises with the staff and management on issues that affect the students. It also organises events for students, such as the Fun Day or the Open Forum. Each year group in entitled to elect 4 members and the Head Boy, Head Girl and their assistants are automatically members as well.”
Student Council meets every Tuesday at lunch to discuss issues that affect them in the school.
