We are the School Council representatives for 2022 - 2023.
At the beginning of the school year, School Council representatives are elected by their peers. Everyone in school has the opportunity to write and then read out their manifestos in class. Then, each class member votes for the best person for the job - just like a General Election for Members of Parliament (MPs)!
This year, our School Council representatives are…
Y2 Elijah and Piper
Y3 Milly and Will
Y4 Archie and Ava-Rose
Y5 Ella and Colby
Y6 Jack (Head Boy) and Indigo (Head Girl)
We meet at least once a month to discuss how to improve our school and to share ideas and suggestions that we have collected from our class council meetings. Since the pandemic, life changed a great deal for all of us and during this academic year, we have all still missed time with friends and family. We have, therefore, focused carefully on CONNECTEDNESS - looking for ways in which we connect with each other, with the whole school, with our family and with our community.
We all love being members of the School Council because we want to make our school the best it can be - and, we all have a valuable contribution to make!
Don't forget to speak to your Class Representative to share any good thoughts or ideas!
What is it like to be members School Council?
