Student Council

What is it all about? A school council does a number of things:  The school council meets - with a member of staff present - to discuss and sort out problems. These may include school lunches, behaviour or ideas for fundraising events.  Members of the school council will be responsible for carrying out the ideas that have been agreed, such as planning, writing newspaper articles, or meeting with important visitors.

Who could they be?

They need to be…  Reliable  Happy to listen and share others ideas  Willing to write letters to helpful people  Willing to talk to different people  Other ideas…

What is voting? This year we are having a NEW voting system to make sure every vote counts!

First past the post Who wins?

Single Transferable Vote Counting the vote… a little complicated First put all the ballot papers into piles of who got number 1. The candidate with the least is out. There votes are given out again based on who is down as number 2. The candidate with the least is out. This continues until there is a winner.
