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.

With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
