The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Chryston High School on the establishment of a school parliament, its representative pupil council, which comprises of environmental, foreign affairs, sport and equalities committees; notes that the school parliament is pupil-led and has brought about positive changes in the school, including the successful initiative to commemorate those who lost their lives during the Auchengeich mining disaster with a ceremony marking the renaming of school’s sports hall, the Auchengeich Memorial Hall; further notes the superb related pupil artwork hanging in the hall; acknowledges the school parliament’s decision to take part in fundraising events for St Andrew’s Hospice; congratulates the school on receiving the Vision Schools Award for the work it does in relation to Holocaust education; recognises the core values of the school parliament, which are integrity, compassion, ambition, respect, equity and rationale, and considers that this school parliament model, which gives pupils experience of key and evidence-based decision-making, could be replicated in other schools throughout Scotland.
