mention your positive attributes(mature and focused attitude) , your abilities and any other experiences that you have had at school that would help your application (any responsibilities or duties you have been trusted with)
other factors include mentioning your punctuality and attendance (especially if its excellent)
I wish my essays were that long, unfortunately mine are 1500 long for now, Im shuddering at the 15,000 words I will have to do soon though!

Your approach will depend upon whether you think a sense of humour will be deemed applicable for the task � obviously you don�t want to sound like a dullard � but I presume those who might read it and assess your application will be taking it quite seriously. You can always show that you have a serious determined side, and possess an ability to provide fresh initiatives in a light-hearted manner. Most people prefer a balanced individual on a team rather than a constant joker or Mrs B. Serious.
Generally you need to be a good listener, but a good communicator. Strong leadership, initiative and teamwork are particularly useful. You also have to be punctual and reliable and may have to attend meetings after school hours. You also need to be able to deal effectively with people in authority. The concerns and wishes of many of the pupils may rest on your shoulders so you need to be able to deal with people from all backgrounds and with a variety of issues that they may want you to raise at the meetings. You need to be strong, determined and able to create new ideas. You also need to be persuasive and good at negotiating. Prepared to fight your corner, but accept that sometimes things just won�t go your way and take the responsibility of explaining this to the populace.
Many schools have councils, but they are not all successful. These are some things that make a council effective:
- Regular meetings
- A council that is not too big
- Class/Form councils that meet regularly
- Good communication between representatives and their class
- Training for school council members
- Smaller groups (subcommittees) working on specific events or issues
- A bank account or budget (however small)
- Annual evaluations
Focus on what you can ADD or bring to the council that might be unique or fresh and how you would help the (team) council be an effective one, but
