Our School Council 2025-2026
Our School Council are an important part of school life here at Whitegate C of E Primary School. Each year, our children vote who they would like to represent their class on the school council. We aim to grow the next generation of people who stand up for what they believe in. During our fortnightly meetings, all children get the opportunity to shine within group discussions. Furthermore, engaging in responsibility and experiences that enables them to grow in wisdom. The School Council is here to represent you at meetings so that EVERYONE can have their voice heard. How can I have my say? 1. Put a message in the suggestion box in the Practial Area. 2. Come and talk to us - your School Council reps! We are happy to listen to your ideas whenever they might occur! 3. Tell us what you think after feedback. Do you agree with everything decided? Can you think of anything you want discussed at the next meeting? What kind of suggestions are useful? We REALLY want to make a difference to everyday life in school, not just think about special events days (although they are good fun, too)and it is not always about raising money either! Try to think of your usual routine at school and where things might be improved or changed for the better. Ideas to do with......... Playtime activities or routines Things you would like in school Special Events Ways to raise money for school or charities Clubs Have an input into choosing our school lunch menu Sports events These are just a few thoughts. Whatever you are thinking about that could help school carry on improving, let us know! Remember we're here to listen! We will use the Amnesty International resource - 'Learning about human rights in the Primary School' to provide children with their own understanding of human rights and the values and attitudes to underpin them. Tuesday 29th September 2025 As our new councillors have now been selected, we will have our school group council picture taken and we will discuss our aims for the year. After today's meeting, we have decided to go back to our class and ask if there are any important changes they would like us to focus on as a school council. We will then share these possible changes in our next meeting on Thursday 16th October.
