School Council Meeting Summary The school council met with Mr Austin this week to discuss a variety of topics. The children shared how much they appreciated the school's 50th anniversary celebrations. They especially enjoyed making models of the school, designing a school flag, and the fun day with bouncy castles. Looking ahead to Halloween, it was agreed that there will be buns at the disco and chances to take part in Halloween arts and crafts. For the Christmas treat, it was agreed that Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 will go to a play at the Down Arts Centre, while Key Stage 2 pupils will enjoy a trip to the cinema. The council also discussed playtime improvements. Mr Austin agreed to order new basketball nets for break and lunchtime play! Well done to the school council for a very productive meeting! Article 12 of the UNCRC guarantees every child the right to express their views freely on all matters affecting them, with their opinions given due weight according to their age and maturity.
