Student Council 2010

The primary aim of the School Council shall be to foster among the students a sense of responsibility as well as an active involvement in the running of the school. To develop leadership qualities and organisational skills. It shall reflect the ideas and opinions of the students and shall be the official organ through which members of the student body may communicate with the administrative and teaching staffs on matters of general interest to the school.

The council shall strive to encourage a good school spirit of co-operation, understanding and mutual respect between staff and students. It is hoped that the Council will be a reflection of the vitality of the school and that it will provide the school with incentive and inspiration.

The council will consist of
• Head Girl, Deputy Head Girl and up to 5 Senior Prefects
• Current class prefects

Events run by the Student Council include, 1st Year Table Quiz, The Annual Talent Show, Fund Raising and correspondence with our sister school Loreto Matunda in Kenya e.g. Christmas cards for Matunda, Carol singing for Matunda

Work of Student Council 2010

So far this year the Student Council have been very active and productive. We began in September by electing new officers: two Treasurers, three PROs, a school photographer, an attendance officer, a team to decorate the notice board, an assistant secretary and a deputy chairperson.

The council supported the Senior Prefects in the organising and running of the school talent show at the end of October. It was a huge success and was enjoyed by all.

This year we are continuing to fundraise for our sister school in Loreto Matunda. We sold lollipops in school at lunchtime in aid of Loreto Matunda. The Senior Prefects along with the Student Council organised carol-singing in December and raised over €2,000 for this worthy cause. All the class prefects got involved and encouraged their classes to participate. We are organising a church-gate collection for Matunda which will take place in March.

At the moment the council is focusing on organising our annual School Spirit Week, which will run from March 15th-19th. This week is looked forward to every year and the council will organise various events during the week, including Raidió Beaufort, the Céilí Mór, the student-teacher football match and many more.

We are currently re-evaluating the structure of the school council and the roles of its members, in an attempt to make it more efficient and pro-active in serving the needs of the student body.
