Primary Pupil Council
Our Primary Pupil Council updated us on the fantastic work they have been doing to improve our playground, learning, and experiences. They have:
- bought a chute for the playground;
- submitted a funding request to Cooke Aquaculture to help purchase new iPads for primary classrooms and support our Loch Inch trip;
- organised a Beetle Drive fundraising event for our community, scheduled for 12 March 2025.
Secondary Pupil Council
Our Secondary Pupil Council shared their efforts to enhance our school environment. They bought: netball stand, pool cues, darts, footballs and outdoor storage for play equipment.
Additionally, they have written a letter to parents and carers highlighting concerns about dog fouling and damage to playground equipment. The letter reminds everyone that dogs be on school grounds.
They also announced a competition to design a Pupil Council Logo, to represent the voice of our pupils. Posters will be displayed around the school, and the deadline for entries is 20 February 2025.
Eco Committee
Our Eco Committee shared their ongoing work to help protect the planet by reducing waste. They encouraged everyone to:
- use the recycling bins correctly.
- turn off lights when leaving classrooms.
Reading Schools
We celebrated Ms Nicholson for successfully completing the Reading Diverse Challenge.
Tammie encouraged everyone to get involved and reminded pupils to keep their bookmarks updated.
UNCRC Rights
Our Rights Ambassadors shared their knowledge of two key UNCRC articles:
- Article 19 – Protection from violence, abuse, and neglect.
- Article 35 – The right not to be kidnapped, sold, or trafficked.
Mr Lawson then discussed these rights in connection with Holocaust Memorial Day (Monday 27 January 2025), focusing on Anne Frank, who was persecuted for her religion and had her rights denied.
