School Council
Welcome to the school council for 2024 - 2025
Read on to find out more about the school councillors and the reasons why they chose to be involved with the school council this year.
Ava: I’m very glad I got to be a school councillor to represent Reception class. I love to colour and draw so I can express my creativeness. I also love going to school not only to see my amazing friends but also to learn. I love English because I like to create my own stories. All the teachers are very funny, yet they help me so much!
Brooke: Out of school I like playing football, drawing as well as dancing and doing cheer!
In school I like English because I get to write stories. With the help of the other school councillors and teachers I would like to make changes that will help the school.
Eleanor: My hobbies are basketball and tennis. I’m interested in horses and I plan on becoming an equine vet when I grow up (which means a horse vet). My favourite subject is history, to be exact learning about the Titanic. My favourite film is Harry Potter in particular the 5th one.
Whilst on the school council I would like to raise funds to increase the size of the trim trail.
Ryan: I’m in Year 6 but I am the councillor for Reception. I love football and as goalkeeper for my team I know how important being part of a team is! I love to help other people and I enjoy my lunchtime job helping the infants. My favourite thing about Audenshaw Primary is that there is always someone to help you and I am part of that. This year I hope to help shape an even brighter future for Audenshaw Primary!
Jorgie-Rae: I am the school councillor for Year 5.
I really enjoy singing, dancing and acting. I also like trying to make people happy if they are having a bad day. I like Audenshaw Primary because it has lots of kind children and staff, they are all helpful.
I love trying to make people smile and helping friends out including the staff.
My favourite subject is art because I am always drawing and I am very creative. As a school councillor I hope to make everyone feel happy and safe wanting to come to school.
Logan: I am 6. I love football, camping, bodyboarding, maths and running. I want to make the school more fun by helping make a school football team and have an end of year school disco for all!
Luke: My interests are football, golf, cubs and playing with transformers. I also like playing Pokemon.
In school I enjoy history because I love learning about Tutankhamun. I really enjoy DT because you make stuff like a pavilion or a castle. What I like about school is that I learn lots of different things like maths, art and science. By being on the school council I hope to listen and create new ideas for the school.
Lyla: My favourite hobby is horse riding and netball. English is my favourite subject to do at Audenshaw because I enjoy writing. Audenshaw Primary is a friendly place to come and I want to put my friends ideas forward to make it an even better place!
Piper: I am one of the Year 3 school councillors.
This year as a school councillor I would like to help people share their ideas and make a difference in the school. I love Audenshaw Primary, my favourite subjects are Maths, Science and Art. I enjoy reading, playing with my friends and going to acrobatic classes.
Pippa: I am in Year 1.
I like dancing and going on holiday. I like my teachers and love reading and maths.
I also like playing with my friends. This year I would like to organise more non-school uniform days to help raise money for charity.
Robyn: I am in Year 5.
When I am in school I really enjoy English because I like to write my own stories and get good ideas from books. I also enjoy doing art because I love to draw. When I am at home I like to do some drawing, watch TV then play in the garden.
While I am part of the school council I hope to help other children see that asking for help is ok and to never give up on their dreams. Everybody is afraid of something but if we all work together we will be less afraid.
Roxy: In school my favourite lessons are English and Art. Art is fun and English is a great opportunity to get lots of Value Cards!
I love Audenshaw Primary because the teachers are really kind and when I hurt myself they help me up and get me a plaster. Being on the school council this year I hope to achieve making the school a better place, make new friends and help my class mates get to know more things at Audenshaw Primary. I’m looking forward to it!
Vinnie: I am in Year 1.
I like playing on the MUGA with my friends.
I would like to help organise a fun sports day!
School Council 2023 - 2024
This year the school council worked hard to update the school behaviour policy. Through speaking to the children in each class the school council wanted to update and improve the school values and rewards for good behaviour. This resulted in a new whole school behaviour system 'It's Good to be Green!' being trialled and then implemented.
The council consulted all the children and took on board their ideas.
The new values are:
• Good Manners and Behaviour
• Respect
• Empathy
• Resilience
• Helpfulness
• Ambition
The KS2 School Council visited the Houses of Parliament on the 10th July 2023.
It was a very early start at 5.45am where the council met at Piccadilly Station. There was time for breakfast on the journey down to London.
We arrived at Euston Station then got the underground train to Embankment. We walked along the River Thames taking in the sights.
We arrived at the Houses of Parliament in time for our guided tour. We were very lucky to be able to see both the House of Lords and the House of Commons as well as the royal apartments. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take any photographs in these. However we did get some with the State Coach and the rooms at the end of the tour.
After the Houses of Parliament we did a bit of souvenir shopping then walked past Downing Street and the Horse Guards ready for a picnic lunch in the park.
After lunch we walked to Buckingham Palace.
Then a walk down the mall before catching the 'tube' to the Natural History Museum. We loved looking at the exhibits on Volcanoes and Earthquakes, the animals and mammals but in particular the Dinosaurs!!!
Finally after souvenir shopping part two we travelled back on the underground to Euston. We had a treat and stopped off for tea at MacDonalds before the journey home. A very busy and tiring day but worth every minute. We learnt a lot and had lots of fun!
Pennies for the Playground!
The school council decided to have collection boxes in each classroom to collect any spare change from home. Children were asked to bring in 1ps and 2ps from home and place them in the box and at the end of the half term the pennies would be counted up!
We are very pleased to announce that for the first Autumn half term just over £80 was raised which is fantastic and just goes to show that pennies make pounds!
The school council have selected and ordered some new playground equipment with the funds raised.
