As we strive to improve the quality of provision
at Holy Family PS, we have developed our School Council.
The Council comprises a group of children from Primary 7
who develop manifestos and go through the rigours of elections
by their peers. They meet with the designated School Council
teacher, Mrs Henry and discuss a wide range of issues which
are aimed at making the school a better place for everyone.
These children act as ambassadors at all civic occasions
within the school and offer help and support to younger children across all the year groups.
Fulfilling the role of Council member helps develop character
within the individuals. It requires thinking, patience,
tolerance and a greater understanding of the need to be
mindful of the feelings of others. In short it develops
a range of qualities for adult life.
