Ministers and school representatives are set to meet later for the first School Council Network in Jersey of the new term.<\/p>\n
The meetings, which take place up to six times a year, allow primary and secondary school councils to shape policy directly with government.<\/p>\n
The Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills (CYPES) said the opening event of the term would focus on safety and digital wellbeing.<\/p>\n
Education and Lifelong Learning Minister Rob Ward congratulated all the students elected to their school councils, calling it \u00ab\u00a0a big responsibility but also a fantastic opportunity\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n
Ward, who is set to attend the event alongside Minister for Children and Families Richard Vibert and Assistant Minister for Children and Families Malcom Ferey, said: \u00ab\u00a0I’m excited to see the ideas and leadership you’ll bring, and I look forward to working with you through the School Council Network.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
Vibert said the network had grown into a \u00ab\u00a0powerful, student-led forum\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n
\u00ab\u00a0I’m proud to support a network that puts young voices at the heart of decision-making, and I look forward to hearing more from them as they focus on safety, which is one of our priorities in the Children, Young People and Families Plan,\u00a0\u00bb he added.<\/p>\n
Students will also review Jersey’s new Play Plan, ensuring it reflects their current needs and experiences.<\/p>\n
CYPES said students last term helped redesign the Millennium Town Park playground, tested and tasted hot school meals, and submitted hundreds of questions to ministers.<\/p>\n
