SintLucas has arranged employee participation according to the Works Councils Act. There is a student council, student council, works council and parents' council.
Pupil Council
As part of informal participation and representation, SintLucas has a student council. The student council is the central representative body for students at SintLucas vmbo. The student council consults with the vmbo education managers on various matters that are important to all students. Members of the student council are class representatives.
Student Council
Both MBO locations have a formal student council. Location-specific matters are discussed between the local student council and the director responsible for the location. Matters that concern both locations are discussed during meetings held several times a year with the Executive Board. The student council has a say in matters such as class times, holiday schedules, timetables and regulations.
Works council
The Works Council consists of employees. It has the right to provide advice and give or withhold consent on matters laid down by law. The Works Council meets with the Executive Board (CvB) six to eight times a year. The Executive Board may decide not to follow the council’s advice, provided it gives reasons for doing so, but it may not disregard a refusal to give consent.
vmbo council
Through the formal VMBO council, parents and students can share their ideas, have a say and participate in decision-making about matters concerning the school. The VMBO council consists of a parent section and a student section.
Topics they make decisions about include school hours, parental contributions and the school holiday schedule. They meet with the school management several times a year.
Parent focus group
Within the mbo we have a parent sounding board group. Would you like to think along with other parents and have your say on current issues? Do you think it is important to be involved and would you like to join the SintLucas Community?
As a member of the parent sounding board group, you are the link between the parent/carer and the school, which can contribute to a better learning environment and a positive school experience for the students. We expect during the meetings:
Feedback: collect experiences, improvements and ideas from other parents and share them during the meetings;
Policy advice: to advise on school policies and strategies from a parent/carer’s perspective. This may cover topics such as teaching approaches, student care, and internships;
Informed: you will be the first to receive information about new developments that are taking place within the organisation .
