Whenever possible, we allow our children to participate in discussions and be involved in the school’s decision-making processes, in order to give them the opportunity to make real choices and understand consequences. Their views are listened to and acted upon where appropriate. Our School Council was set up in 2008 and has achieved much in it’s first few years for our school, and our local and wider community.
There are two School Council representatives for each class. They are elected by children in the class to go to School Council meetings and take part in discussions. They let the class know what was discussed at meetings. They also take the views of classmates to the School Council. They are then involved in projects that the School Council runs.
School Council, 2011-2012
Here are the 2011-2012 School Council class representatives.
This year the School Council will continue to be the voice of the children. They will strive to make playtimes and lunchtimes even more happier, work on creating much needed signs for our school and promote a recycling project for the children to be involved in. The School Council decided that our Dress Down donations will go the Provo Children’s Home, this year.
