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:

Vice-Chairperson - Isla Black

Secretary - Blake Turns

Ordinary Member - Eilidh Barber

Ordinary Member - Lia Blackley

Ordinary Member - Elijah Brome

Ordinary Member - Rittal Fatah

Ordinary Member - Victoria Fyffe

Ordinary Member - Ria Kurmashvili

Ordinary Member - Madysyn Paterson

Ordinary Member - Ana Pons Henderson

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.
