School Council 2023 - 2024

This year we are continuing to work hard on our Rights Respecting School Silver Award. We are making sure that all children in our school feel safe and have our rights met. We are also learning about important things like equity and dignity.

We use our understanding of children's rights to help other children have their rights met - by supporting worthwhile charities and awareness days such as Children in Need, Show Racism the Red Card, Comic Relief and our annual fundraising day for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Year 2: Kayden and Ruby

Year 3: Atlantis and Harper

Year 4: Angel and Fanta

Year 5: Iyla-Jae and Kyron

Year 6: Tegan-Marie and Isaac
