School Council elections
School Council Elections 2024 – Call for Nominations
Each year approximately half the members on School Council face election as
part of a process to ensure mentoring and renewal of this body.
We have 4 parent and 2 staff vacancies.
The role of School Council, the various categories of membership election and
calls for nominations for the 2024 election are detailed below. If you choose to
nominate, please attach a written paragraph about yourself that can be
published in the event of an election and for entry into the newsletter.
If the number of nominations exceeds the vacancies, then an election is
conducted for members of the School Council of Wales Street PS.
Before considering standing for School Council, please consider the time
commitment, as it is an expectation that as a School Council member, you may
also be a member of one of the sub committees.
