Student Council News

March 19, 2021 admin

Our student council met today in a socially distanced way – out in the yard. They discussed what it is like to be back at school and why we all seem so glad to be back. They will work with their classes to create an accurate reflection of what school means to us, what elements make us happy and what we can do to make sure we continue to enjoy our school at its best.

Gardening, skipping, playing ball, dancing, playing tag, jumping and having fun!

We had a great first week back – hopefully we won’t have empty desks like these again! It’s so much nicer when they are filled with our wonderful boys!
