Why be on the school council? It’s super fun! You get to do lots of charity work and cake sales, help at different school events. Your friends will look up to you. You get to make decisions about how the school is run. You might get to make new friends!

What does the school council do? Raise money, the Bake off. Run a stall at the school fair Write a new anti-bullying charter Updated the Behaviour and Safety charter Plan how to make the school better Decide on and buy new equipment Run a suggestion box Tidy classrooms awards
