Developing Our School Council

Download this 18-slide PowerPoint to help you develop an effective School Council. This resource will help everyone in our school feel responsible, build children’s confidence by giving them the chance to speak in public and give everyone the skills needed to work with others. It explains what a School Council is, what roles of responsibility there are, suggests ideas for a School Council to focus on, identifies the characteristics of a good representative, explains what ‘standing’ for election means, has ideas for a first meeting and a useful checklist for School Council members to use. This is a tried and tested resource that children, teachers and anyone associated with your School Council will find really useful!
