OUR SCHOOL COUNCIL CONSISTS OF 2 CHILDREN FROM EACH CLASS THAT ARE ELECTED BY THEIR CLASS MEMBERS. THEY TALK TO OTHER CHILDREN AND STAFF AROUND THE SCHOOL TO GATHER IDEAS ABOUT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT ROLES IN THE SCHOOL COUNCIL INCLUDING A CHAIRPERSON, A VICE CHAIRPERSON, A TREASURER AND A SECRETARY. WE HOLD MEETINGS TO DISCUSS ISSUES OR EVENTS THAT ARISE IN OUR SCHOOL.
THE SCHOOL COUNCIL ENCOURAGES CHILDREN TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT WILL HELP IMPROVE THE SCHOOL. EVERY CHILD HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE THEIR IDEAS AND IT’S THEIR JOB TO LISTEN TO EVERYONE. HAVING A SCHOOL COUNCIL GIVES THE CHILDREN MORE RESPONSIBILITY AROUND THE SCHOOL. IT LETS THEM HAVE A SAY ABOUT HOW THEY THINK THEY CAN MAKE OUR SCHOOL BETTER.
A SCHOOL COUNCIL HAS BEEN A PART OF OUR SCHOOL FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THEY HAVE ORGANISED MANY EVENTS TO RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITIES AND FOR OUR SCHOOL.
