School Council
Student Council
Each year members of the Year 13 Sixth Form leadership team are asked to run the student council. The council leadership runs the council meetings, liaises with the staff representatives about the agenda and organises the administration. Meopham student council works across all year groups giving students a voice and is at the forefront of student led change at Meopham School.
Students from Years 7-11 have the opportunity to join our School Council to help make positive changes around the school. In the past couple of years student council has made many changes to improve life at Meopham, such as;
-
getting a cover erected over the quad to provide an outodoor space that can be used all year around
-
the installation of more benches outside with umbrellas
-
the installation of a refrigerated salad bar during lunch service and more fruit.
