The Student Council Programme 

What are Student Councils? 

A Student Council is comprised of a group of  students who are democratically elected to represent  their peers. The Student Council is made up of  students elected by their own class and who act as an  enabling mechanism in becoming a partner in their  education while making a positive contribution to  the school and its unique spirit. It is a representative  structure through which students can become  involved in the affairs of the school, working in  partnership with the school Administration for the  benefit of the school and its students. 

Successfully run Student Councils improve: ∙ Student/ Teacher relations. 

∙ Student overall achievement. 

∙ Student behaviour in and attitude to school.  (Ministry of Education) 

The St. Joseph Secondary School Student Council  has been quite active through their efforts at peer  counselling, fund raising and other activities during  each school term. Some of the major successes  include: An EDUVAN programme in partnership  with the Ministry of Sports and Youth affairs and an  annual gospel concert. It is hoped that more students  would become members of the Student Council and  allow the voice of their peers to be heard in hope of  creating a better school environment.
