The School Council, a body elected and run by the girls
themselves, meets twice a term to discuss ideas and concerns under
the guidance of the Link Teacher. Forty-two girls,
representing the views of every form in the school, sit on the
Council which is chaired by the Head Girl. Items for the agenda
come mainly from the girls although sometimes staff may ask for a
proposal to be discussed. The Council's recommendations are
discussed with the Headmistress and Staff.
The Council has become a valuable way for students to take
responsibility for their role within the Bolton School community.
Amongst the issues discussed this year has been a Code of Conduct
for Students. Students have drawn up a detailed Code which every
girl in school has had the opportunity to discuss and vote on.
Finance for the day-to-day running of the Council and for
special projects is provided by The Parents' Association; we are
grateful for their support.
