School Council

2009 - 2010

The School Council was set up in January 2006 and is made up of 10 children. The council meets regularly with Council members representing different classes. Members have to discuss with other children from their class many different topics which are brought up in meetings. Members also have to remind the teachers to hold Class Council meetings.

The Council members have their own board in the hall and their photographs are displayed so that everyone knows who they are, along with general information about meetings.

In the School Council's first year they were able to help raise funds for the playground markings to be redesigned. This meant that the Chair and Vice Chair had to attend a PFA meeting and ask for funds. Following this the School Council asked all the children to vote for what they would like on the playground, and then they spoke to suppliers and got a price for the job. The playground looks great now and the children really like it.

Last year the School Council were involved in setting up a gardening area for everyone to use.

The School Council can talk about anything and it is important for all the children in the school to have their say.

At the moment the School Council are learning about the different roles within a council.
