Student Council

Category : Blog

Ella Hannon of our News Team has put together a run down of some of the work our student’s council has been up to.

Here at Holy Family Senior School, we are very lucky to have our own Student Council which is made up of one person from each 5th and 6th class group. Each member is voted in by their fellow classmates at our annual class elections in September. These dedicated eleven students meet every week and discuss issues in Holy Family from a students point of view.

Their role in the school community is vital as they are the voice of the school newsletter, which includes school news, world news and lots more. You can find these newsletters on our school website, holyfamilysenior.com.

The Student Council also helps tp organise school events such as the WOW factor and the Amber Flag Day to name just a few. Each member works extremely hard to make the school a safer and happier place for all students.
