Howard Junior School has an enthusiastic and proactive team of School Councillors.
They are all highly driven individuals, who take the role very seriously.
They are the ‘voice’ of the pupils of Howard Junior. They relish the opportunity to think of ideas on how we can improve our school, take important responsibilities, review and discuss upcoming school projects and suggest their own ideas towards them.
