Our School Council has the important task of representing the views, concerns and ideas of the pupils in The Model Primary School. As a school, we believe pupil voice is paramount in bringing about change. The council will try their best to act on suggestions about how to improve our school and make it the best that it can be. The elected council will aim to meet monthly and each member will have an important role to play.
Kay responsibilities include leading projects like fundraising and environmental initiatives, representing the school at events and acting as role models for their peers. Members are responsible for actively participating in Council meetings, collecting and communicating their class views and taking part in projects that enhance the school community.
The School Council will meet regularly and the chairperson will discuss the minutes of the meeting afterwards with Mrs. McCarter.
The School Council Board is in the Assembly Hall and relevant information will be displayed there by the Communication Team within the School Council.
Playground Buddies
Who are they?
Primary 5, 6 and 7 pupils take on the role of Playground buddies. The buddies really enjoy the responsibilities and not only does it make the playground a happy place for all the pupils, but it offers a great help to the staff on duty at lunchtime.
What is their role?
- To help all pupils to learn how to play cooperatively with each other.
- To help pupils resolve minor conflicts.
- To teach pupils to play a wider range of games.
- To help lonely pupils make more friends.
- Most importantly, be available as a friend to all the other pupils.
How do we spot them?
Look out for their bright orange bibs at break and lunchtime.
