Student Council Ethos

Student Democracy

Student Democracy plays a very important part in the day-to-day proceedings of St Margaret's High School. Since 1998, the Student Council has worked for the better of our school and is the recognised, democratic practise of the School. Treated as a sub-committee of the Senior Management Team, the School Council functions on the principle... "Of the Students, for the Students, by the Students". And, as elected by you, the student body, the Student Council's motto is "Help us to help you".

How the Student Council works

Each individual Form Group elects two Form Representatives, collectively as a year, and these ten representatives create a Year Committee. Each Year Committee then elects two representatives to sit, as members of the Student Council, as their Year Representatives. It is because of this system, every student has a voice, and every idea is noted with every request acted upon.
