Pupil Voice and Student Leadership

At SJBC we believe that Pupil Voice is a vital element to a creating an environment that empowers and listens to its pupils. As such, we ensure that students are given the opportunity to use their voice effectively. This is done through a variety of strategies: Plenaries in each lesson, our Virtual Suggestion Box and through our Student Council representatives, to name a few.

We provide students with a multitude of Leadership Roles across all subject areas  to develop key skills such as public speaking, team building and organisation. We strive to empower and encourage our students to take on these roles that will provide them with a plethora of key skills and invaluable experiences.

Digital Leaders

At St John the Baptist's College, our Digital Leaders are driven by a passion for technology and a dedication to enhancing the school community. 

Through this programme, students strive to broaden their digital expertise and excel by assuming leadership roles in tech-related projects. They support peers and staff with digital tools, develop innovative solutions, and relish the challenge of leveraging technology to make a positive impact. 

Being a Digital Leader means being at the forefront of innovation, learning, and collaboration, while actively contributing to the success of the school.

Student Council

Our School Council is a democratically elected group of pupils from each class.  The purpose of the School Council is to represent pupils’ views and opinions on issues relating to school.  Our School Council benefits the whole school as it provides a forum to communicate with the Senior Leadership Team influencing decisions that are made. This enables each pupil to be active in the school community and in their own education.  Issues that might be discussed at meetings include:

  • School rules and policies
    • Activities after school
    • Bullying
    • School equipment
    • School and community fundraising
    • School meals
    • Facilities in school
    • Community issues
