School Council
Saint Benedict has a long tradition of having a pupil voice through its School Council, the school council consists of pupils from all areas of the school and is a fair representation of school. Each house has two house captains and they usually decide that one of those will be part of the school council. The council meet regularly - usually every other Thursday during extended form time. The council is run by the chair and vice chair. The Chair of the Council is decided by a whole school election every pupil is allowed to vote. Any member of the council can stand for the position of Chair but traditional it has been Sixth Formers. The Vice-Chair is normally decided by the council in the first meeting of each year.
