something actually does it• Lead meeting if Matthew is away

On our Agenda

• Every time we meet we try to have a visitor • We try to let every year group talk about their

ideas with everyone in School Council

5

Keeping the School positive

If the School Council only moans and complains about things at School, very little will change.

So we try to focus on good ideas will gain support of teachers and earn the council more

respect.
