should CH students be more involved in decision making?
By this, I mean, should there be more consultation of students when decisions are made, like through a school council or the like?
Should sixth form students have information/membership of the NUS?

Difficult - I think some houses have a 'council' of members but I don't know how it would work on a school level.
My dealings with the NUS when I was at uni would lead me to say that no one should have to deal with that lot... when I was leaving uni, they were on the verge of leaving NUS in disgust...

Southampton aren't members of the NUS we voted out of it, CH would be better off without them, although I think sixth form should get student union cards from CH so they could benefit from the discounts you can get, such as cheap cinema 10% off in various store etc.

by happy coincidence, sixth form students are allowed NUS membership!
as a union, it's pretty sh!t though. it's mostly full of centre-right career politician wannabes (not being bitter, it's true), hence why nothing actually progresses, and why so much of its funds seem to 'evaporate'...
w@nk though it is, CH should still make NUS cards/membership available to pupils. not just for the discounts, but because CH does nothing to prepare you for politics, meetings, trade unions etc
[maybe it's a little too 'egalitarian' for their liking...]
as for pupils being consulted, definately. if some of the power had been taken from the almoners and given to people who actually knows what goes on there, i'm sure many many many many mistakes could have been avoided. pupils will be less hostile to proposed changes if they think they've had a say.

Aren't the school/house monitors the voice of the the pupils with the staff? At a house level for house monitors, and a school level for school monitors?

i agree with Hendrik and Matt that the NUS is pretty nasty, but that doesnt mean that students should be denied the cards and discount etc
i was never ever asked my opinion on anything and i think there would be alot more love from the students on stuff that went on.

In theory, the same way in which parliament doestbs wrote: Precisely - how can a handful of monitors know what the whole school wants?
