Participation

Students regularly have good ideas about activities within the school. For example, organizing a party or an idea to make school more fun for everyone. The student can then contact the student council. This is a group of students who meet regularly under the supervision of a deputy director and discuss and develop ideas. This way they learn to work together and express their opinions. The council represents the interests of all students. The members of the student council must be elected. The elections for this are held every year at the beginning of the school year.

The participation council consists of a number of members who jointly represent the staff, students and parents of the Johan de Witt School Group. The MR regularly consults with the management about various topics at school. The MR can advise the management and in some cases can also agree to certain matters. Staff, students and parents each choose their own representatives for the MR. They can cast their vote in an election.

You can contact the MR via:
