The School Council at St George's has been actively running for the last five years, it is run by elected representatives from each of our classes.  We hold regular meetings on Tuesday mornings, where we discuss any suggestions or questions that has been raised during the week. We also hold weekly Class sessions, this enables use to stay in contact with all of our pupils.
We have our own notice board where we post the minutes of our meetings, and a suggestion box for all the school to use, including the adults.
