It has always been a part of school life in Portumna Community School to have prefects in 6th year: pupils who have the respect of the student body as well as the staff and who are entrusted with certain duties and responsibilities.
There is an application process each spring and the staff convenes each May to appoint prefects for the following year upon.
Prefects, therefore, work closely along side their year head and provide a very valuable layer to the day to day school running of the school.
The role of the prefect is always expanding to try and help meet the needs of an ever-expanding school community.

The student council plays a crucial role in our school by representing students interests, fostering leadership skills, organising events and serving as a bridge between students and school administration.
Adriana Valuodzaite,
In September 2023, I was elected to attend ACCS to promote student voice through zoom calls with Izzy Tuohy. I was given the opportunity to train to be a facilitator. I used this skill at their conference.
The Department of Education is working with our school and student body to rewrite the Anti-Bullying policy as was discussed at an ACCS conference at Dublin Castle in October. In school, we meet with students from all other years. Nobody is afraid to voice their opinion.
It’s a great opportunity to get to know the other students, especially first years. I am looking forward to helping out with the teacher/leaving cert activity at the end of the year as well dealing with any issues that is brought to our attention.
