Communication Team
What is a Communication Team?
Our Communication Team is a group of pupils who have taken over the running of the Smart School Council Model.
We created our Communication Team by turning our existing school council into one after holding an election and application process.
Our Communication Team don't act like a traditional school council. This means they don't decide and do everything themselves. Their main job is to run the model and encourage as many pupils as possible to get involved.
Each member of the Communication Team takes on a particular role.
They help to run the Smart School Council model in the school and facilitate communication.
A typical Communications Team might include 10-20 students. Ours has slightly more at 26
Their job is to communicate and facilitate rather than doing things for people.
They're the communicators
The Communication Team works well if it's made up of pupils who are confident communicators.
But there's a difference...
They don't act like a traditional school council. They're not the students who do everything.
Smart School Council involves every pupil. The Communication Team's job is to facilitate, encourage and communicate involvement. They don’t represent their class.
They each have a role
Each member of the Communication Team takes on a particular role and they work in pairs to fulfil their role.
They meet regularly to look at class meeting results, plan actions, support Action Teams and find new questions.
Meetings are moving away from everyone sitting in a circle with the teacher chairing (like a traditional school council meeting). It's better when the pupils get together to work on their jobs, share ideas and get things done! Or it could be an update on what's been happening since the last meeting.
