Talking Teams
We have worked very hard to develop pupil voice in St. John’s and believe the best ideas come from the children!
In our school, everyone is part of a Pupil Voice Group (Talking Team). These are made up of mixed groups of children from P1 – P7 who meet every six weeks to share and discuss their opinion on a range of matters before planning action within this theme.
Currently we have the following Talking Teams:
Health and Wellbeing
Sports
Eco
Fairtrade
Rights Respecting School
Pupil Council
Media
Outdoor
Literacy
Community

House Groups
Pupils are divided into one of four house groups in St. John’s –
Arran – red
Iona – blue
Seil – green
Skye – yellow
Each house has a Primary 7 Captain and Vice-Captain elected by pupils in August each year and they work as a team to earn house points based on our school values
