School Council’s Christmas

Our School Council provides the children with a forum to help realise their own unique ideas and dreams. This year, the representatives organised a mini Winter Wonderland themed fun and festive event for children, parents and staff. Over a number of weeks, School Council discussed, planned and foraged in preparation to bring joy to their peers. Many aspects of our Pupil Profi le were met, not least resilience in managing the preparations alongside their daily school routines. Monies donated on the afternoon will go towards being involved in ‘Wastebuster’, an environmental awareness campaign in schools, encouraging the entire community to reduce, recycle and reuse. School Council deem it a necessity toward school playing their part in sustainability.

On Friday afternoon, the Council representatives came together to man tables, ensured others were having a good time, directed families to Santa’s grotto and served refreshments. The popcorn stand and hot chocolate sales were particularly successful! Congratulations to Tatum (5G), for guessing the total of sweetie bags in a jar - 26 bags - spot on! Guess the weight of the cake was won by Alexander (3R), who was correct within 0.2kgs. Enjoy!

The day ended on a high with families collecting their pre-ordered Christmas tree, following our participation in the established ‘Christmas Trees for School Fundraising Scheme’. The trees were delivered to the School, making for a convenient and carbon footprint friendly purchase.

School Council extend their thanks to Santa for taking time out to visit the children, to the entire team at Barrow Hills and to the King Edward’s Music Department. Finally, to all our wonderful families without whom this could not happen.
