The Role of our School Council

Our School Council gives us, the pupils, a chance to give our opinion on issues at our school. Over the years we have carried out a number of activities that have helped to make improvements at Ashfield, we have raised money for Ashfield and other charities, we have brought up environmental issues to raise awareness and we have been able to make decisions representing the rest of the pupils. Here is a brief summary of some of the things we have achieved:

• raised money for charties
• help raise money for the school
• thought of questions for interviewing new staff and taken part interviewing new teachers
• we have oranised playground leaders
• fair trade stalls
• we speak for the other children in the school and make decisions
• review school policies
• designed an anti-racist poster
• listened to promblems that the children may have and spoken to adults in school who can help
• suggest school improvments
• decide where to go on school trips

This year our aim is to raise some more money for the school fund as alot of children would like more Trim Trail equipment. We plan to do this by having a stall at the christmas and summer fairs and also by holding lots of competitions through the year.

If you can think of anything that you would like School Council to do, don't forget to tell your class council rep and they will bring it up at the next meeting.
