School Council Update

Warden Hill’s School Council have had a busy start to the term! They were given a very special role in our Harvest Festival and performed a poem. They did so with enthusiasm and confidence! The infants coloured some super pictures to represent the words in the poem too.

More recently, they were given an important job to do by Mrs Flooks and the PTA. On November 5th, our school will be hosting a fireworks display and it is important to inform the local residents. School Council members delivered nearly 160 letters to neighbouring houses to let them know about the event. We were extremely proud of them as they were polite to the neighbours we spoke to and represented our school brilliantly.

Next half term is a busy one – from raising money for Children In Need to putting up Christmas trees.

We look forward to updating you on all the important work our School Council does for Warden Hill.

School Council and Eco Warriors Elections

We are inviting children in Years 1-6 to stand for their class’s School Council and Eco Representatives.

This year, we are starting a slightly new system to enable more children to take on these roles during their time at Warden Hill.

Your child will only be able to stand once for each role in Years 1 and 2, Years 3 and 4, and Years 5 and 6.

As this is a new system, all children can stand this year, even if they were a class representative last year.

Children need to tell their teacher two days before the Elections Day that they wish to stand.

Elections will happen on the same day in every class.

Children need to have prepared something and have it with them on voting day in order to stand.

Years 1 and 2:
Children need to draw a picture or make a poster to present to their class.

Years 3 – 6:
Children need to create a verbal presentation (no powerpoints). They can also have props such as posters or pictures but nothing should be handed out to the class.

Parents are welcome to support their children in preparing for the role but posters etc must be the children’s own work.

Wednesday 18th September:
Inform your teacher if you wish to stand and for which roles.

Friday 20th September:
Elections Day
Children to present to their class.

Good luck to all candidates.
