Some of the School Council were lucky enough to be invited to the Media Centre on camp to design our Playground Charter. We had already decided on our rights and responsibilities in the playground and had taken lots of photos to demonstrate these.

We worked with a lady from the Media Centre to decide on the layout for our banner, then returned the next day to look at the proof. We are now waiting for it to be printed and displayed in the playground. Click here for photos.

School Council Meeting 8th February 2010

The hats for Haiti Day was discussed. The School Council decided that a message on each of the hats would be a good ideas. Each of the School Council is going to make a poster for each class for the Bring and Buy Sale. There was a discussion about how to price the toys, but it was decided to have tables where everything was the same price to make it easy.

Playing Field

The children were reminded by the special plants and rare grass we have on the field. Rachel, the Garrison Conservation Officer joined the School Council. The old pond has been filled in and a play area will be made there. The School has already chosen the equipment for the area. They found out that there is going to be a nice area for the wildlife. They also used some of the stuff from the new pond to fill in the old pond. They are going to use rocks and logs to make a habitat for the insects and small animals. Rachel offered to come and help the children count different animals on the pond and on the field. The School Council was very interested in doing this. Rachel told us lots of things about how to count the animals make insect traps.

The School Council came up with some more ideas like a basketball hoop and more sports. They also wanted to use the back of the field for different trails.

Playground Charter

The School has nearly finished the Playground Charter , but need to decide on where it goes.
