Our School Council gives children a voice in helping to shape school life at Laurel Avenue. School Council representatives are democratically elected by their classmates following a speech in which candidates explain why they would be a good representative and how they would contribute to improving the school. Members meet regularly to discuss ideas, share the views of their classmates and work together to make positive changes across the school. The School Council plays an important role in improving our school community, organising fundraising events, supporting local and national charities, and helping to make decisions about school initiatives. Through their work, council members develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills while ensuring that every child's opinion is valued and heard. We are proud of the enthusiasm, responsibility and commitment our School Council shows in making Laurel Avenue an even better place to learn and grow.
