Student Congress

The Student Congress is typically a representative body within Wilson’s Hospital School that includes various student leaders, such as Prefects, Head Boy/Girl, members of the Student Council, the Boarders’ Forum, Student Mentors, subject departments, groups, initiatives, committees, extracurricular activities and other key student figures. Its primary goals are to foster collaboration among students, staff, the leadership team and all stakeholders, to promote student voice, and enhance the overall school community.

Key Functions:

  1. Creation: Establishing the Congress involves identifying student leaders and setting clear objectives for their collaboration.
  2. Leadership and Direction: Appointing leaders or a committee to guide discussions, set agendas, and ensure that all voices are heard.
  3. Meetings: The Congress meets at least once per term to discuss issues, share ideas, and plan initiatives. These meetings help maintain a collegial atmosphere among participants.
  4. Reporting: Producing a Student Congress Report each term to summarise discussions, highlight achievements, and outline future goals. This report helps communicate student perspectives and actions to the wider school community.

Objectives:

  • Foster Collaboration: Encouraging teamwork among different student groups and staff to achieve common goals.
  • Enhance Communication: Creating channels for feedback and suggestions from the student body.
  • Empower Students: Providing a platform for students to voice their opinions and participate actively in school governance.

Overall, Wilson’s Hospital School Student Congress aims to create a more inclusive and engaging school environment through active student participation and leadership.
