Student Voice

Student Council representatives meet regularly throughout the school year and work closely with school leadership to support the student community.

Listening, Learning & Growing Together

At Jesus and Mary Secondary School, Gortnor Abbey, we believe that students should play an active role in shaping their educational experience.

Student Voice is about creating meaningful opportunities for students to express their opinions, share ideas, and contribute to decisions that affect school life.

By listening to our students, we gain valuable insights that help strengthen our school community, improve learning experiences, and support student wellbeing.

We are committed to fostering a culture where every student feels respected, included, and confident that their voice matters.

Developing Confidence & Leadership

Participating in Student Voice initiatives helps students develop important life skills including communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership. 

These experiences encourage students to become active participants in their school community while preparing them to make meaningful contributions in the wider world.

By working together, students and staff continue to build a school community based on mutual respect, collaboration, and shared responsibility.
