School Council
| The School Council is a group of
pupils who contribute to bringing ideas together to make the school more of
a children's environment. The Council is made up from two children from each
class, who represent the views of their peers. They meet
each term to discuss any ideas. They have added lots of different items to the
playground and classrooms, all of them for the children's benefit. Some of the items that have been
bought include:
 |
extra dustbins for the
playground. |
|
more "buddy benches". |
What makes an
ideal councillor?
|

|
|

the school.
|
|

|
|
