Student Council, a voice for the pupils of Kilcoole Primary School
Student Council is compiled up of two representations from each class from 3rd to 6th class. They are the voice of the students and meet weekly with Ms Delaney. Over the past year the student council have worked really hard to improve the sports and reading materials in the school.
Term 1: Children compiled an inventory of all the sports equipment in the school and put together a wish list of new equipment to improve PE and sporting activities. Following on from this the children managed to get new basketballs, GAA balls, footballs and improve the classroom yard boxes.
Children also ran a book drive in the school to gather a variety of genres and build up the class library in each setting. We were amazed at the amount of books that were donated to the school and very grateful to everyone who contributed.
Term 2: Children wanted to organise a non-uniform fundraiser to raise money for a treat in term 3. The fundraiser was very successful and we raised close to €1000. However in light of events in the Ukraine children agreed to donate the money to a charity to help.
Term 3: Children are continuing to monitor sports equipment and attend weekly meetings to discuss any concerns brought forward by their class or a pupil.
