Can you remember this?

PSHE is about your own development. It’s all about making good choices and staying safe. Learning about how to manage your money and thinking about future careers is also part of PSHE.

HiSpeech AssessmentLevel

Be able to give reasons why you have the qualities needed to be a good School Councillor.

Be able to explain how your qualities will allow you to do a good job if elected as School Councillor.

Do all of the above whilst also describing what issues you want to change in school (like school dinners etc) and describing how you might go about doing it (think back to how Sal went about campaigning for girls to wear skirts).

Example Candidate Speech

Hello my name is Sarah and I am standing to be your voice on School Council. I would like to get your vote today because I think that I have the qualities necessary to be an excellent representative. I am hard working, reliable and dedicated, as well as good at making decisions and an excellent communicator.

These qualities mean that I will be able to work hard on your behalf. Being hard working, reliable and dedicated means that you can rely on me to turn up to meetings and air your views at meetings. You can also have faith that I will use my good communication skills and confidence to feedback to our form and find out what you think on issues.

The biggest issue that I would like to change as your School Councillor is the quality of school meals. People often complain about the lack of selection or small portion sizes. If elected I would suggest these changes at School Council. I will meet with Mr Conway and the Head Cook to find out about the problem and I will create a petition for everyone in Year 7 to sign to show their support. I think that by working together we can be successful at changing school meals.

I hope that you will vote for me and thank you for listening. A vote for Sarah is a vote for change!
