Tell us how you’ve made a difference
Whatever your project or achievement, we want to hear about it.
Project size doesn’t matter. It could be anything from increasing the number of recycling bins in your school to selling chocolate to raise money for your student council budget.
What matters is your school council's efforts led to a positive change.
