How to become a School Council Rep:

If you want to be a school council representative, you will need to complete an application form in September detailing why you want the role. You will then need to present to your class why you should be chosen to be their school council representative. All of the children in your class will then vote using an anonymous ballot and the two children with the most votes will be school council reps for this academic year.
