'The Student Council helps to develop young leaders that are passionate about contributing to making a positive difference to the school and wider community.'
The Student Council has a very important role at Quarry Bay School and helps to make a difference in all areas of school life. Each class, from Year 2 to Year 6, has a Student Council Representative who attends weekly meetings, suggests ways to make QBS an even better place to be, and helps make important decisions about the school. Student Council Representatives are independent and enthusiastic children who work together as a team to give all children a voice within the school.
Elections take place at the beginning of each school year to appoint new Student Council representatives in each class from year 2 to year 6. The Council meets regularly at lunchtime and agrees on its own agenda for items to work on throughout the year. These could be based on messages from class, observations they have had, or general ideas about how to improve life at Quarry Bay. They also consult their class about ideas and suggestions to find out their response before further discussion. Sometimes they run school assemblies so that they can get their message across to all students.
Over the years, the Student Council has had an excellent impact on life at Quarry Bay, providing positive solutions and giving thoughtful feedback on important issues within the school.
