Pupil Council meeting

I am looking forward immensely to working with the S1-3 members of our pupil council tomorrow. The pupil council is made up of a representative from each tutor class. Each year therefore has 10 representatives.

The day will begin with a short questionnaire on a variety of aspects about the school. I will publish the results on this blog. Following this task we will divide into groups and the pupils will discuss what values we should adopt as a school. (Teaching staff and Office staff were involved in a similar exercise two weeks ago).

After this we will use a 'carousel' approach to allow groups of pupils to answer the following questions:

1. What are the characteristics of the ideal pupil?
2. What are the characteristics of the ideal teacher?
3. How can we make lessons more interesting?
4. How can we get rid of litter?
5. What do we need to change at Gillespie’s
6. What must not change at Gillespie’s?
7. How can we improve behaviour and encourage all pupils to be the best they can be?
8. How can we improve attendance?

I will be intrigued to what see emerges from the discussions! The results will be shared with all staff and pupils.
