End of Year Student Council Event at Felpham Community College
At Felpham Community College, the Student Council plays a vital role with student voice and helping make vairous decisions about school life. The Council is made up of Representatives from each year group, and over the last few years has grown considerably in popularity with now over 120 Reps in total. They are headed up by the Student Leadership Team, 6 year 13 students who have specific leadership roles.
The Council is involved with a wide varity of activites – from supporting charity events, to being the student voice for form groups with information and events, to giving opinions on things such as canteen and curriculum provision. They have also recently been involved with staff interviews, and tours for Korean visitors to FCC.
On Tuesday 2nd June, FCC held an End of Year Student Council Event, a chance to say thank you and well done to Student Council Representatives for their work this year.
Mr Summers, Assistant Headteacher, commented:
“Being part of the Council is voluntary, and students meet once a half term within each year group and then complete actions from these meetings throughout the school year. It is great to have so many students putting themselves forward for this role. Our End of Year Event was a good opportunity for everyone to meet together and see what we have achieved over the year. We wanted to give students a chance to develop skills, but also have some fun! Workshops included getting creative with lego and visualising our Rights (from our Rights Respcting Gold Award), taste testing new canteen ideas and giving feedback on our canteen provision, becoming literacy short story specialists, learning team working skills and even learning how to work as a team and play Boom Whackers!
We are grateful we have such a strong Student Counicil at Felpham and look forward to continue to grow this next academic year”
