The student council is made up of a group of Cedars students who have been elected to speak on behalf of the whole student body. They are the voice of the students. Members of the student council are responsible for discussing ways to make Cedars the best possible place for every student. Then they put the ideas that have been agreed into place, such as planning social or fundraising events, improving areas of school or meeting with catering staff. What jobs are there?
