The school has a Student Council which is elected annually. It consists of two representatives from each form. The President and Vice President are appointed through an application process.

 

The Student Council meets regularly with the School Leadership Team and brings matters of students’ concern for consideration by the Senior Leadership. Student Councillors act as role models for St Helena Secondary School; they are regularly invited to represent school at official functions and to become involved in activities where they are vital in promoting a positive image of their school. The Council also organises social activities and fundraising activities for charity.

 

St Helena Secondary School staff value the ideas and opinions of the students in all year groups. Students are regularly given the opportunity to respond to student questionnaires that explore the experience of students in their lives at school. The Leadership, Pastoral Leaders and Subject Teachers value the opportunity to hear the ideas and opinions of students about their school experience.  A variety of forums for discussion will take place during each school year.
