School Council

 Following the British system of democracy, each class elected a representative for our School Council. We had to first give a presentation of why we wanted the role and the character strengths we have that would be helpful.

Our new school council members are busy coming up with ideas on how to continue to improve our school.

Paula Baker from Heads Up has worked with us, training us to be a team of young Mental Health Ambassadors. We have learned about the importance of looking after our own mental health and supporting others. We are now more able to recognise our emotions and have strategies for self-regulation.  We have learned how help each other through everyday life. We are organising craft clubs for our friends to attend and talk with us, as well as creating opportunities to support our classmates in the quiet areas we are creating around our school.
