Student voice

In Sacred Heart, we feel it is imperative to provide a safe and inclusive space for young people to form and express their views. We ensure that young people’s views are taken seriously and acted upon, where appropriate. The students' views are communicated to management regularly via google forms or through meetings with focus groups.

Student Council

 School Council is a key feature of Sacred Heart Secondary School. Many of the activities of the school and indeed much of the atmosphere of the school are determined here.

The School Council is a democratic structure with representatives from each year and allows pupils to become actively involved in the life of the school.

The Council meet regularly and is intended to give students a meaningful voice in the life of the school. They also raise a lot of money during the school year for charities and school equipment.

Involvement at council level develops a keen sense of leadership and responsibility, to work as part of a team and to get things done. It also fosters an understanding of the managerial and political process. This is further helped by the presence at all meetings of a staff liaison.

The Student Council members are always available to represent their colleagues at events outside the school as the need arises; sometimes on sad occasions when their presence is always dignified and seen as a tremendous support.
