School Council

School council elections are held every year in September, our elected class representatives will hold office for the year.

They will report issues and discuss improvements they and their classmates think would benefit the school, inform school leaders of events that have been enjoyed by them and their peers, and use this to embark upon, with their class representative peers, a child led programme of positive change.

The leaflet above provides brief information from Albion school council members. Click the leaflet above to read more or click here.

This is an exciting opportunity for the children to have a voice in our school and to take on a position of some responsibility. The School Council have two representatives from each class (from Year 2 to Year 6) and will meet with a school leader weekly/ fortnightly.
