CURRENT ISSUES

The School Council meets every two weeks during term time, usually on a Tuesday morning during registration.

 

So far this term the Year Councils have decided on which charities they would like to raise money for during the School Council Fundraising Week which falls during the week of 23rd April.  Year 7 have chosen to support the British Heart Foundation, Year 8 have selected the RSPCA, Year 9 will be raising money for Water Aid, Year 10 UNICEF, and Year 11 will be fundraising for Save The Children.  Each Year Council have been allocated one day over the course of the week during which their year group will raise money through a variety of events, watch this space for more news!

 

As well as fundraising, a number of issue have been brought up at council meetings and the Reps have discussed:

 

  • Attendance, attendance leagues, attendance prizes
  • Recycling in school
  • Lunchtimes
  • 60th anniversary celebrations

 

A number of Council Reps were also involved in Internet Safety Week at the start of February and helped Mrs Finucane deliver her assembly presentations to each year group.  Members of the Executive Committee also took part in a government consultation on Sex and Relationships Education and PSHEE which is part of a nationwide initiative involving thousands of students.

 

Most recently, students from the Council met with the Headteacher, Mrs Götschel, and the Catering Manager, Mrs Avery, to discuss more specific issues which have been reported with regards to lunchtimes.  As this is such a pressing issue, it has been decided that a school-wide survey will take place, the results of which will then help inform future decisions in the canteen!

 

The Council will keep you all updated with the latest news but don't forget, if you have an issue you'd like to raise, speak to your review group Rep!
