Student Council Election 2021/22

Last week was a very exciting time for Cullybackey College as our Student Council elections took place. On Tuesday Students were introduced to the work of the Student Council by their Form Teachers. This gave students an opportunity to find out more about the work of the Student Council and decide if they wanted to stand for election to the Student Council.

On Wednesday Form Teachers collected the names of those who wanted to run for election, on Thursday the polls then opened at 9am and the votes started coming in. 

Students were able to vote electronically by logging into their year group poll via Google Classroom and casting their vote for the student of their choice. The two students with the most votes in each year group were then deemed elected to the Student Council. By the time polls closed on Friday at 3.25pm an amazing 300 students had voted. 

Below is the list of students who were elected to represent their year group on the Student Council:

Year 8

Sophie McDonald- 9 votes

Ryan McCaughey- 7 votes

Year 9

Hannah Millar- 9 votes

Lewis Maternaghan- 7 votes
