the Rosary Community where we live, love and learn together

School Council

Rosary children taking part in Saltley Young People’s Parliament. They have been discussing plastic pollution in our local waterways and how to combat this growing problem.

 The Rosary School Council represents the views of all our pupils. It gives pupils the opportunity to have a voice and to be key members of the school community. The aim of the school council is to help each other and improve life in and around the school​.

 

School Council Members

 

The School Council consists of 2 representatives from each class. At the start of the academic year all pupils are invited to volunteer to stand for election. The class elects its representatives after hearing each candidates manifesto. School council meetings are held every half term. Here the elected members raise and discuss issues on behalf of their class.

 

The school council have highlighted some of the good work completed by the School Council.

 

The ways in which the school council have helped develop the school

 

  • We campaigned for a crossing warden on Bridge road and we now have a lollipop man (Mr Lewis) in place.
  • To improve fire safety in the new building, we requested a fire exit to be put in the school Library. This has now been installed.
  • The school council recommended the salad bar at dinnertime offer a wider variety of items and noticeable changes have been made.
  • Following our request a second water fountain has been installed in the playground.
  • We asked for a girl’s football club and this is now taking place on Wednesday’s after school.
  • We assisted West Midlands Police with their Big Tidy Litter Picking Campaign.
  • Democracy - We learnt about how the laws of the country are made
  • Parliament - We learnt about the different parts of parliament and how they operate
  • Citizenship - We now understand why it is important for us to be good citizens.

 

What we are planning to do this year - Citizenship
