What gives you the right to skip school here, anyway?

Successful Student Council Work …
Student Council and Quality Improvement at the School
The KSM Student Council strives to contribute to the school development process in nearly all areas. It constantly works to improve the atmosphere at the school and in the classrooms.
“The opportunity to actively shape school life can strengthen students’ sense of belonging to the school. In addition, students gain further experience in social contexts that support the development of a democratic mindset.”
(Source: Quality Development in Schools—Opportunities for the Student Council, Dr. Rüdiger Arnscheid, Department 32, March 29, 2007)

We, the Student Council, are here to listen to your concerns and requests and to try to address them on your behalf. We want the students at our school to feel comfortable here, so we plan to organize various events for you. You can contact us or your class representative at any time if you have any concerns, requests, or suggestions. We’ll then work with you to resolve them. In general, we’d like to have a say in shaping our “school climate”—after all, we were elected by students for students.
You can also contact the SMV by email at: smv@ks-mergentheim.de
