A New Year!

Welcome to the new School Council!

We have taken a long time this term deciding how we are going to run our school council, and any changes we want to make, because this is an important job.

We have been changing a lot of things in our meetings and around the school. We have let House captains have different jobs e.g.Treasurer and Secretary. We have chosen Cheyenne Lewis as our Chair, Charlotte Thomas as our vice chair, Hannah Witts as our secretary, Emily Mccanas our vice secretary, Charlotte Johnson as our Treasurer, Lloyd Evans as our vice Treasurer.

Vice captains are not allowed to be involved with School council unless needed as they wouldn’t do anything and we would have too many people in the Council.

If any of you have noticed that the School Council picture is from last year then don’t worry because we are on it. Miss Harwood has got the camera and we are ready to take pictures of the new Council when everyone is in.

Feel free to ask any questions and to post comments up on our blog.

Thank you.

Now for the adults: You may remember Steve was in ‘Lost Land of the Volcano’, Steve led the first ever team of outsiders into the depths of the perfect New Guinean volcanic caldera known as Bosavi. In the jungle interior, the team discovered many species unknown to science – including the world’s largest rat! In ‘Lost Land of the Jaguar’ he descended to the bottom of the Kaiteur Falls to discover a wonderland of frogs and orchids seen only by a handful of other humans.
