Our School Council
How Do I Get Elected to the School Council?
School Council elections take place every autumn term. To give as many pupils as possible the chance to take part, children who served on the Council the previous year are asked not to stand again.
From Year 2 onwards, any child who is interested in joining the School Council is welcome to put themselves forward. Candidates prepare a short speech to persuade their classmates to vote for them. You may also want to create a campaign poster or make some notes to support your speech. Share all the reasons you would make a great representative — perhaps you have lots of ideas, are a good listener, enjoy organising events, or simply want to help make St George’s the best it can be.
After the speeches, every pupil in the class votes. This process is a wonderful example of democracy in action, giving everyone an equal voice in choosing their class representative.
Our School Council works hard throughout the year to make a real difference at St George’s. Here are just some of the fantastic projects they’ve been involved in:
