LLANISHEN HIGH SCHOOL COUNCIL

The school council member’s feedback to year representatives for their year group regarding views that are being expressed at meetings and any projects the school council are undertaking. Keeping everyone informed of current issues, initiatives and ideas. The School Council members are pro-active and understand their roles within the council. They all believe strongly that student voice is vital in the school and should be heard.
