Hello and WELCOME  to the Student Council part of our school website!

Who are the student council?

What we do?

The Student Council is a  hardworking team of people in our school. We think up ideas for our school. Please let the student council know if you have any ideas for us to work on. In St. Oliver’s the students have a great say in what happens in school life. You can help to be a part of what we do!

Overall Aim:

It is intended that the Student Council will be instrumental in the many exciting and positive changes that (will) take place in our school. We, in St Oliver’s N.S., are very proud of the role played by our students in developing our school and believe that we achieve a more pleasant and vibrant learning environment as a result.

Role of the Student Council is to:

• Provide an opportunity for pupils to voice their opinions and offer suggestions in relation to many aspects of school life.
• Discuss, encourage and promote initiatives from the pupils.
• Offer an opportunity for all pupils to voice their opinions on proposed changes and thereby play a very significant role in improving our school.
• Act as a channel of communication within the school organisation both between pupils and between home and school.
• Encourage pupils, and thereby their parents, to organise events central to the life of the school.
• Provide an opportunity to raise funds for charities or for our School Fund.
• One main task for the Students’ Council is to monitor and report on any bullying that is being missed by the teachers. If anyone thinks they are being treated badly or being picked on they should report to his/her Students’ Council representative.
• The Students’ Council members will keep in touch with their classes via the suggestion boxes as well as before and after class meetings chaired by the class teachers. Students will have a voice in the organising of some aspects of school life and in particular the school playtimes, etc.
