Many people have been asking recently for Mr Summers or one of the Depute Head Teachers to respond to comments made on this part of the mgsOnline site. Issues raised in the Pupil Council Online do make it onto the table at the actual Pupil Council, and Mr MacKinnon does respond to questions raised at this meeting. For example:
Getting healthy food into the canteen
Getting more choice of non-fizzy drinks, not just water, in the fending machines
Letting senior pupils wear variations from their school uniform of white shirts.
All the issues raised do get considered. We will now try to arrange for a 'live' feedback from Mr Summers and the Senior Management team on a regular basis. Keep logging on to find out more!
Why just senoir pupils ???

All pupils take part in the Pupil Council through their classroom representative.

The PupilCouncilOnline is not the most popular part of the site (most people go to the LearningZone) but in the last four months nearly 2500 people have viewed the online Council to see what is going on and make their point. Nearly all of the issues raised go to the Pupil Counil meetings held in school, via our Head Girl. Everything you say here is taken into account at meetings.
It might be disappointing to see that something you want action on has not yet been carried out. That doesn't mean you should stop talking about it. If you do that, then the people running the school will take it as a lack of interest and do what they THINK is right, not necessarily what you WANT.
Any suggestions for new threads in this discussion?

It is a gr8 idea to have a pupil council. Because pupils ideas can be brought up to make the school a better learning place.

CAn pupils benefit from giving their views to the pupil council?
Posted by: Sandra Robertson | March 21, 2005 at 10:05 AM
Yes, pupils can and do benefit from giving their views to the pupil council. We have discussed topics from 'healthly lunches' to 'litter'. Pupils benefit as necessary changes are made. x
