| SCHOOL COUNCIL |
 |
The School Council is made up of student representatives
voted in from each tutor group and advocates for those
groups who are unable to represent themselves. The School
Council take issues and suggestions from their groups
to the Council for discussion, and then make requests
and recommendations to the Chair, Mick Ellison who takes
their views to the Senior Management team.
The School Council is the student's most direct route
in having a say, an influence and a personal investment
in the school. It has proved to be a very positive experience
for the pupils and the staff with everyone taking a
keen interest in how it develops.
School Council Update - Term 2
School Council met on Friday 21st November.
Non uniform days.
School Council reps shared class suggestions for having a non uniform day. Many of the students wanted to support children charities. Some students were also disappointed we did not do anything for Children In Need.
After voting we decided;
ACTIONS
1. School Council to ask Mr Gregory to make Children In Need a non uniform day next year.
2. School Council will organize Red Nose Day in school on 3rd March 2009.
Reps will work with classes and tutors to involve all classes in a fund raising activity.
Homework Club
Some Upper School students have requested a homework club. Amber and Hannah will carry out a survey to find out who wants one. Information would then be presented to SMT.
Youth Parliament Workshop.
Amber said the workshop with Kate Scully had gone well.
Fosse Way students had worked on ideas to improve life for young people in BANES. Amber is interested in becoming the South West Youth Parliament rep. This would mean she might stand for election in January. She will be attending another workshop with Kate this month.
Student Notice boards
School Council thought the new notice boards were a big improvement.
Thanks go to Hannah Jones for her work.
Our Next Meeting will be on
Friday 23 January 1pm
Conference Room.
