Lalor East Primary School is committed to providing opportunities for students to participate and contribute to school wide decision making through the Junior School Council (JSC).
Year 5\6 students are elected to represent their peers through weekly meetings that follow an agenda and formal meeting procedures.
JSC activities range from:
- organising casual dress days or icy pole sales to raise funds for charities or school projects
- contributing ideas for school projects
- making presentations at our whole school assemblies
- running events
- attending staff meetings
- contributing to new programs and policies at staff meetings
- representing the school at official functions.
JSC Members also seek out ideas from students through termly forums and through our suggestion box.
All our Junior School Council members attend a full day training with members of our Principal team where they receive specific training for their role as school leaders.
Past projects our Junior School Council has implemented include:
- Fundraising and arranging installation of our Torres Strait Islander flagpole
- Student consultations for our P-2 Playground
- Obtaining additional sports equipment and resources through a grant from ACPHER
