About the School Councils

We greatly value your Voice at St Michael's and as a result we have three separate councils where you (and your class) are represented: School; Health and Environmental.

 At the start of each year you ( if you are in yrs 2 - 6) will elect members for each Council and every class has an 'Ideas Sheet' where you can contribute to each Council's fortnightly agenda. Meetings are organised by Year 6 pupils and they also take the notes. Once each week we will discuss in an assembly what was spoken about at each council's most recent meeting and our Governing Body also receive copies of meeting notes.

 Each year Mr Floyd asked each class a few questions to find out what you thought about our councils, and if they were representing you as well as we'd hope. The results are below, but overall it was great to see that you are (nearly!) all aware of who your councillors are and what each Council does.

 A summary of each Council's role is below, and notes from each council's recent meetings is at the bottom of this page:
