School council members - what do they do generally?

[maggiethecat]

And what can be expected from the younger ones?

they meet regularly - sometimes every half term, sometimes more often - and discuss issues they have been briefed to ask class about (in our school anyway).

The younger ones struggle to read their notes IME (!) but still can make a worthwhile contribution.

Kinds of things discussed - how can we be greener (tick box form eg recycle fruit/switch off lights) - or what do we need in playground? - or how well does mini leaders scheme work? etc
