Academy Student Council

The WA Academy Student Council is made up of elected student representatives from each year level.  The Council meets weekly with members of the school Senior Leadership Team and other staff members to discuss a wide range of topics that are all related to the student experience at WA.

The WA Academy Council provides valuable input to inform decision making at WA.  This area of our website is a place for the Council to share more about its activities.

"Organising the Council..."

"Hello, I am the current Student Council Chairman. My goal is to help each and every student see the school change to make a better environment for everyone, so please feel free to ask any of us about what you would like to see changed. My role mostly consists of organising the Council. I enjoy debating so feel this position is great for me and like to think I am resourceful and diligent enough to succeed in my role leading the Council."

"Making sure the council runs smoothly..."

"My job is to handle all of the admin that comes along with the Council. I work on the meeting minutes, documenting the discussions and what needs to be done eg. inviting members of staff to meetings. My focus is on making sure that the Council runs smoothly in and out of meetings. I respond to emails and general queries anybody may have. Another important part of my role is filling in for the Chairperson when they are absent."

"The communicating link between students and members of staff..."

"My job, being part of the Student Council, is to be the communicating link between students and members of staff in our school. Students come to me with suggestions and questions and I make sure to bring them up in our weekly meeting, which is on Tuesdays. Everyone there brings a different point of view, opinions, and answers to the students' needs, but we all work together to arrive at the best outcome. As I am a part of the Sixth Form, we occasionally work with the Year 11s, Year 12s and 13s and separately to the other years to tackle issues more specific to our stage, as we recognise that our priorities might be quite different. Since it's my first year at Westminster and I'm still learning a lot, however, being in this position means a lot to me and I am so very honoured to have this chance. I look up to everyone who takes part in the Student Council and admire all the work that they have and still put into bettering this school. If any of you have any issues or suggestions for us don't be afraid to ask!"
