House Captains

Who is your house captain or vice captain and what is their role?

RewardsSchool Council asked for more rewards and people who achieve higher to get more recognition.

Mrs Keane said the rewards policy is being reviewed this year.Push on Merits and EMA’s given by all teachers.

EMA’s converted to house points by members of the school council and house certificates presented in assemblies for the first half term...This will continue.

Lunch Cards

School Council asked for a solution to people using others’ lunch cards.

Mrs Keane agreed with having photos on the system in the canteen so no one else can use your card.

Software already been put in place. You must now either have your card or know your unique number in order to purchase your lunch.

This will definitely stop the problem of people using other people’s cards.

Uniform - blazersThrough the school council you asked for Blazers to be added to the uniform. You said that the cardigans are too thin but the jackets are too thick; students suggested wearing blazers with polo shirts.In the meeting Mrs Keane said she would investigate this idea e.g. prices.

The blazers are in school and were shown to the School Council on Friday. We will be asking for feedback from you during TFL this week. The cost of the blazer would be £25…quite expensive.

Non-school uniform days

Friday 16th November Non-school uniform day as requested through the School Council. Students and staff were asked to make a donation of £1 for the charity.

Very successful day. We raised a huge sum of £819.96 for Children in Need.

Mrs Keane said,“That's the most we've ever fund raised at a single event – fantastic! Well done to the entire School Council for their efforts.”

Mrs Keane agreed to have non-school uniform days, but not too many, about 2 each year.
