The meeting opened at 1:36. All classes were in attendance. Today we created an action plan for the BPS job centre because this half term’s priority is to provide more responsibilities and opportunities to help.

We split the action plan into 2 areas: Classroom jobs and outside of the classroom (outside for short) jobs.

For Classroom jobs school council will:

1. provide a list of possible job ideas
2. Design a job advert proforma that teachers can use
3. Create a job centre class display
4. Write a set of guidelines for the teachers on how the job centre works and what it can offer teachers.

For Outside jobs school council will:

1. Work in teams with managers to liaise with non-class based staff
2. Write job descriptions
3. Carry out interviews
4. Keep a waiting list of suitable candidates

For next week’s meeting please share all your brilliant ideas about what classroom and outside jobs are needed or there could be.

The next meeting will be Friday 1.3.24 @ 13:30 in the Oasis room.

It was decided by councillor vote that:

More responsibilities and opportunities to help: buddies, monitors and assistants – would be the priority for next half term.

Some of the ideas that were shared were:

Register monitor

Chair stackers

Display monitors

Playground monitors

Playground buddies

Litter pickers

Medical assistants

Line leader

Variety of classroom jobs

Learning mentor

Supply monitor

Please discuss these ideas and any that you have ready to share at this week’s school council meeting which will be Friday 9th at 1:30 in the Oasis room.

The votes are in! All classes from Y2 – Y6 have voted and the 2 main priorities for School Council this year are:

1. The playground: greater choice of activities, outside environment and recognition of good friendship skills.
2. More responsibilities and opportunities to help: buddies, monitors and assistants.

Please discuss at class council which priority you think school council should start with and what we could do.

The next school council meeting will be Thursday, 1.2.24, at 2:30pm in the parent room.

DON’T FORGET TO COMPLETE YOUR PUPIL SURVEYS AND GET THEM BACK TO MRS HADLEY.

Thank you to all the councillors who attended today’s meeting and for your ideas.

Class council agenda:

1. Y3, Y5, 6D and 4D please vote, as a class, for your 3 favourite priorities from the list of priorities in the previous post.
2. All classes brainstorm what jobs you would like to do across the school. Who would you help? What could you do? Where would you do it? When would you do it? One idea we already have is to be a litter picker helping Mr Gilbert keep the school grounds tidy everyday.

We look forward to hearing your ideas.

The next meeting will be Friday 26th January in the Oasis room at 2 pm.
