School Council
Aboyne Lodge have a School Council made up of one girl and one boy from each Key Stage 1 class and each Key Stage 2 class. They are voted for by their classmates and meet most Mondays to discuss various initiatives and to make important whole school decisions. Below is a list of the activities of the school council last academic year:
- Made posters to advertise Christmas Jumper day (raised over £300)
- Judged design a Christmas jumper competition
- Helped with Christmas Fair
- Assembly sharing new playground equipment bought with last year’s Sainsbury’s vouchers, including a demonstration
- Tidied playground shed for new equipment
- Asked classes on any issues, many came up with lack of wet play equipment so we decided to have a pyjama day.
- Devised a letter to parents about pyjama day
- Pyjama day raise £50 per class to spend on wet play equipment
- Spent the wet play money using the Argos catalogue
- Made up and asked the St Albans Mayor questions in assembly
- Counted Sainsbury’s vouchers (6000, counted in one week!)
- Decided what to spend the vouchers on (2 goal posts and some marker spots for PE lessons)
- Helped with the summer fair
