Conor McGinn has called on schools in his constituency to enter the 2015/16 Speaker’s School Council Awards.
The awards are an opportunity to recognise and celebrate school council’s achievements in bringing about positive change in their school or community.
The competition is open to every infant, primary and secondary school, sixth-form College, and SEN school in the country. хЪThe winners are invited to the Houses of Parliament for a prize giving ceremony hosted by the Speaker of the House of Commons.
This year the speaker wants to hear about a project initiated by school councils that they are proud of.
Commenting Conor said:
“I have visited many schools across the constituency and spoken with school council members who have had great ideas and put them into practice.
“These awards are an opportunity to highlight the contribution school councils make and I hope many in my constituency will put themselves forward.”
Entries can be submitted from until 16 May 2016.
