The Student Council in Christ King is comprised of class representatives from TY, fifth and sixth year, elected within each class group, who sit in meetings every month. At these meetings school matters are discussed, and the class representatives are given work to do. This could be relaying ideas to their class, and making students’ voices heard. This dialogue empowers the students allowing them to truly have a voice informing the direction of the development of their educational environment.
The Student Council have organised many events throughout the year, including refurbishment of the student Assembly Hall and discussions on uniform reform. It is undeniable that the student council does valuable work without looking for recognition, and it is greatly appreciated.
The school is very proud of its student representatives.
