One of the ways we help our children to ‘blossom’ in Scoil Chrónáin is to develop their leadership skills and respect their opinions. Our Student Council is made up of 2 pupils from each of our sixth classes. They are elected by their classmates to serve for the current school year.
The Council are the voice of the pupils of Scoil Chrónáin. They hold regular meetings to discuss life in our school and bring ideas and suggestions on how to make it a better place.
