The Student Voice
The Student Voice, the name selected by pupils for the school’s council at Llantwit Major School, is made up from two students from every year group.
Pupils on the council are selected annually by their peers in a democratic election process and meet on a regular basis to discuss a variety of student and whole school issues.

School Council Fund raising
The school council would like to arrange three non-uniform days this academic year, 2011/12.
The funds raised from these non-uniform days will be used to support charities selected by the school community and internal school based projects.
The three non-uniform days and charities selected by the school council / community are:
1.Children in need – Friday 2nd December 2011 (National Chriaty)
2. Sports relief Friday – Friday 23rd March 2012 (International Charity)
3. Ty Hafyn - Summer term - Friday 1st June 2012 (Local charity)
In 2010 all pupils in school were questionnaired on what school based project they would like to collect money for. The three most popular projects proposals were:
- Creating an external seating / picnic area
- Basketball hoops
- Fitness trail
The student voice has used money collected from the previous year’s collections to help fund the creation of an external seating area and basketball hoops and will be looking to developing a fitness trail over the next 12 months.
Eco-Schools Silver Award
The Geo Club have worked with the School Council to gain the Eco-Schools Silver Award for Llantwit Major School.
