The Role of the School Council

The School Council has the important task of presenting the views, concerns and ideas of the pupils of The Model Primary & Nursery School.

It is our aim to promote a happy, safe and fair environment for all pupils. Pupils, through the School Council , can present the issues that are most important to them. They can also act on suggestions that are placed in 'class suggestion boxes'. Children can write down ideas for school improvements and put them in the box. The councillors will then take their boxes to each School Council meeting and suggestions will be read and discussed.

  We believe many voices should be heard!

  The School Council will meet regularly and the chairperson will discuss the minutes of the meeting afterwards with Mrs McCarter.

   The School Council Board is in the Assembly Hall and relevant information will be displayed there by the Communication Team within the School Council.  

Playground Buddies

Who are they?

Primary 5, 6 and 7 pupils take on the role of Playground buddies. The buddies really enjoy the responsibilities and not only does it make the playground a happy place for all the pupils, but it offers a great help to the staff on duty at lunchtime.

What is their role?

  1. To help all pupils to learn how to play cooperatively with each other.
  2. To help pupils resolve minor conflicts.
  3. To teach pupils to play a wider range of games.
  4. To help lonely pupils make more friends.
  5. Most importantly, be available as a friend to all the other pupils.

How do we spot them?

Look out for their bright orange bibs at break and lunchtime.
