Mount Carmel Secondary School Student Council works to create a positive school atmosphere and allows students to participate in decisions affecting their everyday life in the school. One representative from each class is chosen and each student council member relays any concerns or issues raised by their class.
The Council meets regularly during the school year to discuss any student-related issues which are brought to its attention. If you have any concerns or suggestions, please see one of your student representatives and let them know that you wish your issue to be brought to the Council.
• The Council acts as a communications link with school management, teaching staff and other staff in the school.
• The Council facilitates student participation in decision making and policy formation in the school.
• The Council promotes the good of the students in the school and ensures that students’ issues are listened to and given due consideration.
2023/24 6th Year Prefects
Mount Carmel, through its Prefect system, recognises the important leadership role that senior students play in the growth and development of the school.
Prefects are key representatives of the student body in the school, acting as advocates and role models for the younger students and generally undertaking a leadership role in the school. The Prefect System provides important benefits for both the pupil and the school. Prefects have the potential to influence the school environment and the behaviour of their fellow pupils by becoming advocates for positive change in the school community.
We have found that when students actively participate in leadership in school life, and their ideas and opinions are listened to and valued, they feel respected and encouraged to make further contributions.
