The Pupil Council at Perth High School is a group which involves selected pupils from all years. The pupil council is a place where issues brought up by the pupils are discussed and then solved by Mr Scott (the Rector) and Mrs Stewart (the Depute Rector). We also have a £1,000 budget which the pupil council have to decide what it should be spent on. The pupil council meet up every three weeks and the pupil council members are:

In this meeting everybody introduced themselves and the purpose of the council was explanied. 29th September: Mrs Stewart was invited to this meeting. The council discussed many issues with Mrs Stewart. These issues were: -The smell of the junior toilets -locks in the girls toilets -Toilet Roll was in short supply in the toilets -The tables in Mr Peek's room, because pupils are unable to get their legs under the table -The basketball court needs to be improved -The pupils staying in Inchture would like a contract bus as the service takes them 40 minutes to get to school. Mrs Stewart has taken note of all of these issues and is looking at possible ways of resolving them. 1st November During this meeting the council made progress on the issues brought up in the last meeting. We also talked about the upcoming National Make A Difference day and how the coucil will also be involved with this event. After the meeting the issues were taken to Mr Scott and Mrs Stewart who are looking over these concerns and trying to resolve them as soon as possible. 15th November The council had visitors from the Pullar house, who dealt with the healthy eating campaign. They put forward their ideas on how to improve the school lunches and the council members gave their opinions. 15th December The council had a little Christmas party, we had food and drinks. During this meeting we discussed and worked on previous issue. We also talked about what we want to spend the £1000 budget on, but so we have made no progress on that. However the issue with the toilets is being dealt with at the moment, as I went to Mr Scott and Mrs Stewart about it and they took immediate action. The problem with the heating in Mr Thorburn`s room is alos being dealt with. 19th January The Council had a meeting with Mrs Stewart. Previous issues were discussed including the issues on the toilets. New issues were also brought up, including the problem with the school cleaners. Mrs Stewart said that the toilets will be dealt with and the problem with the cleaners is being dealt with. The members also gave ideas about where they would like to go for their council outing, but the place and time are still to be finalised. |
