Brightstone Academy’s Student Council
Brightstone Academy’s council works to make improvements to the school and the way we do things at School. We look for things that could be better and discuss what to do. Everyone gets a chance to speak and when we’ve finished, we vote on the best ideas and then start working on changing things. Sometimes we have to talk to Ustadh Sayeda or other teachers to help us with our ideas.
Who are the school Councillors?
School councillors are elected every year by school pupils. Two councillors are voted in from each class (years 1 – 6).
| Year Group | Name |

| Year 3 | |
| Year 4 | |
| Year 5 | |
| Year 6 |
The Minutes
The minutes are the notes that we take at the meetings; they explain what we said and what will happen next. If your class representative was at the meeting their name will be present.
