We are delighted to announce that it is time to elect our new pupil representatives for our school councils. Over the past two years, our current councillors have done a fantastic job leading initiatives, sharing ideas and helping to make our school an even better place to learn.
As we begin a new school year, we would like to give all children the opportunity to put themselves forward and contribute to school life through one of our councils. Children who have served on a council before are very welcome to apply again, including for the same council, if they would like to continue developing their skills and interests in that area.
We look forward to receiving applications and seeing a new group of enthusiastic pupils helping to shape the future of our school.
Being a school councillor is a very responsible position, as you have to have many sensible ideas and sometimes have to do things in your lunch times. However, it is your chance to play an important part in our Bicton CE Primary School community.
You may feel a little nervous about putting yourself up for election, but it is exciting to see what happens when people share their ideas so be brave!
People who would like to run for a particular School Council will present their speeches to their class next week explaining:
• Why they would like to be a School Council member
• What issues they think are important
• How they would help make the school a better place
To make it fair, there will be a vote so that everyone can decide who will best represent them. This will be recorded on a secret ballot. You do not have to tell anyone who you have voted for.
The ballots will then be collected and counted.
We are very excited to see what ideas you come up with to help improve our School.
