Role and Purpose of the Student Council in St. Mary's N.S. Partry
St. Mary's National School believes that students have a vital role to play in creating a positive and welcoming school environment conducive to learning and happiness. We believe that our Student Council plays a requisite role in achieving this. As part of our Self School Evaluation on Wellbeing, we are focusing on giving students more of a voice in our school.
The Election Process
Voting took place in December 2023 with children from 1st-6th asked to vote for the students they feel would represent their views best on a Student Council. The following children have been elected by their peers:
1st class: Cassie Grimes
2nd class: Ruth Garry
3rd class: Ruairi Grimes
4th class: Oilibhia Staunton
5th class: Iarla Byrne
6th class: Seán Grimes
Through our Student Council, St. Mary's National School hopes to give our pupils a more active role in the organisation of our school and ensure they are listened to and respected for their ideas and concerns. Discussions in classes and at Student Council meetings will help to develop social and learning skills in many areas including speaking and listening, problem solving, brainstorming and the decision-making process.
