School Council - Rights Respecting Ambassadors
Article 12
Every child has the right to say what they think in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously.
Our School Councillors take on the dual role of also being our Rights Respecting Ambassadors. This enables them to be the voice of their peers, alongside driving our Rights Respecting agenda and supplementing membership of the larger steering group.

Archived Overview
SCHOOL COUNCIL 2017-18
At SS Peter and Paul’s School, we encourage children to be free thinkers and to contribute to the life of the school. The ideal forum for this is the School Council. Children from Years 1 to 6 have the opportunity to be elected by their peers to represent their class views and to serve on the School Council.
The School Council meets once a month, led by Mrs Maisuria The members enjoy and thrive in this formal setting and often discuss valuable issues such anti-bullying, recycling projects, school food, fund-raising for projects and charities, activity requests and much, much more.
The School Council are also called upon from time to time to be ambassadors of the school at various events, a duty they all carry out with pride. Watch this space for interesting and fascinating projects from our School Council.
