Why do we have a School Council?

A School Council is a formal group of pupils within a school who are elected by their peers to represent them and their views.

The effective use of our School Council reflects the inclusive ethos of Ballymoney Model Integrated Primary School.

Our School Council provides a meaningful way in which pupils can voice their opinions and have their views taken into account in decisions which impact upon them.

Ballymoney Model Integrated Primary School has an excellent group of School Councillors who help make certain decisions in the school. Miss Hemphill leads our School Council and the School Council meet once a month.
