Having completed a 'Save Water' campaign they then collected ideas for the refurbishment of the bottom yard. Now they have turned their attention to raising attendance. If you would like School Council to discuss your own ideas, please speak to the councillors in your class. Are you ever late for school? These days you could be met at the door by a school councillor who will take your name and list you on the late register. After only one week, we had hardly any latecomers. Remember everyone, school starts at 8.50am. Keep up to date with School Council activities by reading their newsletter.
