Role of the Student Council
The role of the student council is to represent students’ views to management, to be consulted prior to the implementation of new policies, to contribute to developing policy in the school, to be a resource working in partnership with the management of the school, to improve the school atmosphere, conditions and facilities, and to generate good relations between students, staff and management.

Ysgol Clywedog’s student council has been running successfully for a couple years. Its membership includes students from every year, elected by their peers.
The council meets regularly with support from a member of staff (Mrs Watson). The council is broken down into several committees;
- Lead Committee
- Health and Social Committee
- Rewards Committee
- Diversity Committee
- Environmental Committee
- Academic Committee
Items discussed vary, but include a range of issues relating to students, school facilities and organisation.
Training for council members takes place which includes leadership sessions, as well as team-building activities. Representatives of the council play a vital role in school improvement and have also met candidates being interviewed for posts at the school.
Term of office
The term of office is one academic year. The student council will appoint a Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and Communications Officer. Each will normally hold office for the year.
As well as representatives from SNAG, STEM, Eco, PE and Music
