The Student Council:

The Student Council (Comhairle Mhic Chairthinn) meets every week under the chairmanship of the Head Prefect. The council members benefit from training days in first term which help in terms of planning and organising the school year. Members of the council visit classes in each year group and listen to the views of the student body. Issues of concern are addressed in the course of the year and the Student Council affords students the oppurtunity to have their views presented to management and the teaching staff. Social events are also organised during the year.
