The Student Democratic Party believes that students should only have to focus on their education during school hours instead of having to deal with issues at school due to poor maintenance, bad planning or bad design. The SDP wants to enact a few acts through the Student council.

Expand Breakfast club from all 1st years to all Junior Certificate Students.
Expand Green Schools.
Add mirrors to all bathrooms in the school.
Ensure school closures are delivered at a time early enough to ensure students are not arriving at school before closure.
