Children as Leaders

02.10.24 - School Council Meeting
The School Council met for the first time today and were very excited to get started! The group worked together to elect a Chair, a Secretary and a Treasurer. These roles were voted for by all Councillors and the positions were filled.
 
The team talked about the different charities they wanted to support this year. Suggestions included 'Cancer Research UK', 'Dementia UK' and 'Surfers Against Sewage'. With four votes in total, 'Surfers Against Sewage' was voted as this year's charity of choice. 
 
The Councillors talked about different ways of fundraising. Ideas included: a t-shirt making working, car boot sale, bake sale and cake competition, a colour run and a non-uniform day. At the next meeting, the team will decide what they want to do for their first fundraising event. 
 
The final item on the agenda focused on how to improve the school. Ideas included:
  • More footballs. 
  • Bigger and better goals.
  • A football & rugby team. 
  • A basketball hoop. 
  • Sorting the raised flower beds so they look more inviting. 
  • More school trips. 
  • Children making posters to advertise the school to other people. 
We closed the meeting by agreeing that Councillors would ask their classmates for ideas before the next meeting. 
 
23.10.24 - School Council Meeting 2
The School Council met for the second time today and were very excited to continue to work on their priorities for the year ahead. 
 
Fundraising for our charity. Games, non-uniform day would be a good idea and a bake sale and competition. We discussed prizes for the bake off - School Council to think about a prize box for all future events. We would like to do this in November to raise money before Christmas. This will take place at 3pm on a Thursday.
 
Impact - the basketball hoop has been put up in the playground after the request was made by the School Council. All of the children are really happy with this.
