Pupil Council

The priority of the Carnoustie High School Pupil Council is to represent the voice of the pupil body. We periodically gather the views of pupils throughout the year, using surveys and focus groups.

We meet a minimum of once per week to create action plans to address the issues that our peers identify as most important.

The current Pupil Council team consists of the following:

Hannah Jamieson – Senior Chairperson

Iestyn Hughes – Junior Chairperson

Madison King - Senior Vice-Chairperson

Mya Gillies - Senior Vice-Chairperson

Abigail Muir - Junior Vice-Chairperson

Grace Mudie – Senior Secretary

Erin Geekie – Senior Depute Secretary

Eshal Niazi – Junior Secretary

Melissa Barnes -  Ordinary Member

Lana Kearnan – Ordinary Member

Our council works collaboratively with the school’s Senior and Extended Leadership teams to discuss annual School Improvement Plans and any other important business. We also work closely with the school’s UNCRC working group to discuss the best ways to raise awareness of young people’s rights. We create annual newsletters and attend parent council meetings to inform the local community of our progress.

Every year, we are looking for new, enthusiastic pupils that are driven to make our school better for everyone. Applications for positions within the council open in August and are overseen by Dr Mustard.
