New Year, New Rules
At the January meeting Miss Irvine introduced the new rules that had been chosen by gathering suggestions from Primary and Secondary.
- Be safe
- Be respectful
- Be your best
We discussed the new rules and pupils made posters for their class and Miss Irvine copied them to go up around the school.

| What is not going so well? | How can we fix the things that are not going so well? |
| Football – ‘nobody passes to me’ | Assembly – Mrs Irvine/Miss Irvine will encourage everyone to pass to everyone |
| Crisp packets lying about | Mrs Irvine will pass problem onto eco-group – possibly have litter monitors |
| Some of the peerie ones look in the lockers when we are standing there | Older pupils to politely tell younger pupils not to look |
| Tar at the back – some people put crisp packets down the drain instead of in the bin because they don’t want to stop playing football | Mrs Irvine will pass problem onto eco-group – possibly have litter monitors. Supervisory assistant to keep an eye out for pupils putting litter in bin – use merit scheme |
| Swings – people budge in and some people go on for too long | Mrs Irvine to consider getting a timer and explain rules at assembly i.e. if you move from line, you lose spot and you can’t keep spaces |
| Some of the younger ones go on the P4-7 tar and the P4-7 bit of the football pitch | Assembly – remind younger pupils of playground spaces |
| Some folk want more equipment i.e. seesaw on the grassy bit at the peerie tar | Pupil council can consider how to use this grassy space and raise money if need be |
| Play Leaders – older classes interfere and distract | Play Leaders to give an assembly on their role and the rules |
