Following pupil consultation, ‘Smart School Council’ has been rebranded Cathedral Pupil Parliament and restructured to help Cathedral pupils learn in a real-life way about how Scotland is governed.
Cathedral Pupil Parliament will continue to give EVERY Cathedral pupil a voice and, under the leadership of our twelve elected House Captains, help drive forward further change and improvement in Cathedral Primary.
Cathedral Pupil Parliament will be organised in a similar way to the Scottish Parliament, with our House Captains forming the Cabinet and leading our six Directorates:
- Learning
- Faith
- Health
- Equality
- Sustainability
- Finance
Every Cathedral pupil will continue to participate in a fortnightly Class Council meeting when a particular topic will be discussed. Everyone’s views and ideas will be recorded electronically and sent to our House Captains for discussion. Based on this information, our Cabinet Secretaries (House Captains) will form short-term committees to take forward current projects and priorities.
Cathedral Pupil Parliament will have its official launch at assembly on Monday 1st September. We’re very excited about this fresh look to pupil voice and pupil leadership here at Cathedral!
