PUPIL PARLIAMENTS

Our Pupil Parliament, made up of four School Councils, gives pupils plenty of say over decisions made in all aspects of school life and fosters independence and responsibility. Understanding how decisions are made, listening to their peers, collaborating and pulling together as a team are habits which will stand them in good stead as they grow up.

We were delighted to welcome Mrs May to our meeting in February. She answered some very thought provoking questions sent in by our council members and offered very useful advice to our Eco, Learning, Safety and Wellbeing Councils. She was keen to listen to St Piran’s pupils’ opinions and said how important it is that MPs listen to the younger generation on issues such as the environment in particular. Outside of politics, we learned that Theresa loved school (particularly maths and geography) and is a very keen cook with over 150 recipe books on her shelves! We did explain Wake Up and Shake Up which she seemed to like the sound of. Our members left the meeting feeling very inspired!

Eco Council The Eco-Council have been very busy making St Piran’s greener. Some of the initiatives we have undertaken are glue stick and pen recycling, battery collections and litter picking. Even though we were not at school we kept our eco hats on by making bug hotels in our gardens, growing plants in our gardens and allotments and using our printers less. Going forward we plan to: • Provide bird boxes, baths and feeders • Increase our recycling efforts • Be more mindful of using electricity A special visitor Who better to offer advice and wisdom to our hardworking Pupil Parliament than our local MP and former PM, Theresa May?

• Respect our school’s nature areas and protect the wildlife that lives there • Bring bees to St Piran’s!
