29. Being an Executive
“The Executive Council is a group made up of 5 students, from
elected members of the Schools Student Councils; from Year 7
through to Year 13.
Applicants do not need to have been elected onto the Schools
Council to apply. The aim of the Executive Council is to reflect the
schools Senior Leadership Team at a student level and will work
in conjunction with SLT to tackle real issues in the school. The
team will have formal meetings on the first Monday of every
month after school, parallel to the SLT meetings and may be
required to attend parts of the SLT meetings to report back
and take part in discussions. They will be required to report back
to the School’s Council and student body as a whole.”
