Student Council

At Ashbourne Educate Together we have a vibrant student council. Children from 2nd to 6th class are eligible to run for Student Council within their class. We have student-led elections to nominate students to join the student council. Older representatives from 5th and 6th Class liaise with children in junior classes to ensure their voices are heard.

We have been very busy over the last number of months organising events, presenting at assemblies and raising awareness for Human rights. We were participating in the Unicef ‘Child Rights Schools’ initiative and were awarded the Silver award in 2024. We are working towards the Gold award this year.
