What is a pupil council?

The pupil council:
gives pupils the chance to tell teachers and staff their ideas
represents each class in the school
meets regularly to talk about important school issues and projects
puts forward the class views at council meetings
takes forward the views of the very young classes, who may find it difficult to put forward other's opinions.

The pupil council must have:
a constitution, which is a list of rules clearly setting out roles and responsibilities
a chairperson, who leads the meetings by following the agenda, which is a list of items to be discussed
a secretary, who takes notes of what is said at the meeting – these notes are called the minutes of the meeting
a link teacher, to give guidance and support.
