Cockburn John Charles Student Council Leads the Way in Student Voice and Leadership 

The newly elected Cockburn John Charles Student Council has officially begun its work, following a successful round of elections where students from every year group voted for their representatives. The council, made up of dedicated and enthusiastic pupils, embodies the school’s commitment to student leadership, teamwork, and active participation in shaping school life.  

Earlier this week, representatives from each year group met with the Headteacher and Assistant Headteacher to present their ideas and plans for the year ahead. The discussion focused on upcoming events, ways to enhance the school community, and initiatives that promote student wellbeing and school pride. 

The council members demonstrated a wide range of important skills during the meeting, including communication, organisation, collaboration, and problem-solving. Their thoughtful suggestions and confident presentations showed maturity and passion for making a positive difference across the school. 

Headteacher, Mrs Roberts, praised the students’ commitment, saying: 

“It’s inspiring to see our students take such pride in their school and work together so effectively. The Student Council plays a vital role in giving students a voice, and their enthusiasm and creativity are truly commendable.” 

The Student Council will now work alongside staff to put their ideas into action, ensuring that every student at Cockburn John Charles has the opportunity to be heard and to contribute to the life of the school. With their leadership and teamwork, the future looks bright for the Cockburn John Charles community.
