School Council & Eco Committee

School Council

School Councillors are elected by their classmates and meet fortnightly to discuss the views and issues their peers have raised and convey them to the committee. The committee discuss these topical issues, draw together ideas and make plans. Following on from the School Council Meetings the councillors report back to their own classes about issues arising from the meetings.

The School Council is directed and led by an elected Chairperson and minutes are recorded by an elected Secretary. There is also an elected Vice-Chairperson and Treasurer.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for children to learn about and participate in the democratic process. By taking part, children learn to listen to, discuss, reason about and explain issues of importance to the school community. The 12 School Councillors act as the representatives of the student voice.

Eco Committee

The Eco Committee is elected by each class to promote sustainability and improve our local environment. In the past, the Eco Committee has led recycling initiatives, grown fresh produce, cleared up the local area and carried out research into improving the sustainability of Heber Primary School.

This year, the Eco Committee will focus on rejuvenating the garden, growing a range of plants and leading the upkeep of the outdoor areas. They will also fundraise for an ‘Outdoor Learning Hub’ that will support teachers to take more lessons outside. They will collect data on the school to calculate our carbon footprint and come up with an action plan to address our emissions.

This is a fantastic opportunity for children to make hands on change around the school and learn more about the importance of the natural environment.
