Pupil Council
The Pupil Council consists of children elected to represent their class.
The Pupil Council meet once per fortnight to discuss anything which has been brought to their attention in the class, playground or lunch hall. They also organise special events in the school calendar and leadership tasks across the school.
Primary 2-7 all elected a Pupil Council representative. Primary 1 is represented by Primary 7 pupils.
Over the past 2 terms, we have discussed Road Safety and presented assemblies to the whole school. All pupil council members took part in some way, whether presenting in front of an audience or creating the PowerPoint to be used. We have also spent time talking about the changes that have been made to our break and lunch times as a result of the building work around the school. Most pupils are happy with the changes, some sharing that they miss playing football when the field is not in use but understand this is due to the space we have and so that we can keep everyone safe. When the weather changes, the field will be back in use for all.
In term 3, we will have a focus on anti-bullying and how this looks in Windyknowe Primary. This is a pupil led project and so the process and outcome are to be decided by the pupils. We will explore our current policies and procedures and decide what further action we can take to continue to ensure our school is a supportive and caring environment for all.
