Personalised Student Council Gavel – Engraved Wooden Debate Gavel and Gift for Student Leaders

Recognising tomorrow’s leaders today

When a student takes the chair in a council, leads a debate, or presides over a society, it’s about more than just the meeting. It’s practice for the leadership they’ll carry into the wider world. A gavel marks that authority — a symbol that the room looks to them for order, decisions, and direction. Gifting a personalised gavel to a student leader, debate captain, or graduating president says we see the effort you’ve given, and we know the responsibility you’ve carried. It’s a keepsake they’ll hold onto long after their time in office ends.
