School Council 

St. Columba’s P.S. School Council

Our School Council is made up of pupils from P4–7 who are elected by their peers. They meet regularly to share ideas from each class and to explore ways to help make St. Columba’s Primary School a welcoming and enjoyable place for everyone.

Working closely with Miss Reid, the council acts as a link between pupils and staff. Their involvement gives pupils a meaningful voice in school decisions and helps them develop important skills such as leadership, critical thinking, and responsibility. The council listens to pupils’ views, addresses their concerns, and strives to make a positive difference.

This year, the council has lots planned, setting a strong example as role models for the whole school community.

Meet our wonderful school council:

The Golden Table Award

As part of our lunchtime routine at St Columba’s, we encourage and promote good manners and behaviour whilst eating at the table. As we are a healthy eating school, we also encourage children to eat healthily at lunch time as well as snack time. To recognise and celebrate this, we have a Golden Table Award. Our School Councillors and lunch time assistants issue Golden Tickets to pupils who have healthy lunch boxes or to those who have lovely manners and behaviours in the canteen.

Each Friday, the lucky Golden Ticket holders get to sit at a special table where they will enjoy their lunch on the golden plates and drink from the golden cups. Each ticket holders name goes into a pot where 1 is drawn, the winning child and their class get extra playtime as a reward.

This reward applies to all, whether you have school dinner or a packed lunch.

Playground Pals

Here at St Columba's Primary School we have a senior leadership programme called Playground Pals.  Primary 6 and 7 pupils actively promote friendships through games.  Teams of playground Friends buddy up with younger children and assist in teaching and caring for them during break and lunchtimes.
