What will it involve? Attend regular meetings. Listen to the ideas from everyone. Give up your time generously. Be an active team member. Speak in front of others. Work to make our school better.

Will I be able to give a speech to my class? Before you decide to become a JLT there may be a few things that you need to think about. Do I have the time to be a Councillor? Will I enjoy it? What would I like to see different about our school? Do I mind giving up my own free time? Will I be able to let the school know what other children think?

A JLT needs to be... Approachable and a good listener Reliable and responsible A role model for others Patient and respectful Good communicator Positive and fair Decisive and a problem solver Determined to succeed.

So …….. If you think you would be perfect for the job then stand in your class elections. If you think you would be perfect for the job then stand in your class elections. Tell your class why you should be their JLT. Tell your class why you should be their JLT. Final decision is put to a class vote The decision is yours!
