On Tuesday, the School Council met during first period for their scheduled monthly meeting. We first discussed any progress that had been made in the various areas we spoke about at our previous meeting. The queuing issue that was occuring in the food court, for instance, is still being worked on with the idea that more prefects could be used to minimise congestion within the food court. We also were able to decide that some issues were not to be taken any further such as a wireless internet facility along with a new football kit for the school.

We then looked at any issues from individual year groups. S4 council members spoke about the fact that pupils were being turned back when using the social subjects corridor, the S6 leadership team will bring this up prefects concerned. S5's spoke about the timing of the next dress down day, as there was some confusion as to when it was suggested it would take place. The S6 members spoke about the fact that they did not seem to be getting as much as they had hoped from the new library charter. The Deputy Head Boy and Girl spoke to Mr Plain who will pass the information on and get back to them after the October break.

The whole council were very positive about the Dress Code survey that a few of us had created. We also agreed that the idea of an extended registration would create enough time to carry out the survey. The house news section of the website is yet to be updated. Everyone who volunteered to update the House News section agreed that the priority for this week is to source House News. A faculty challenge event will be taking place period 3 on Friday. We realise that this is a fantastic opportunity to promote a positive ethos, so everyone is very excited to take part!

There are 5 pupils from the School Council taking part in a trip to the Czech Republic alongside Mr Jappy and Ms Cochrane. The trip will last a week and pupils will visit a school and learn about the culture. We also discussed the succesful ethos competition and ways of promoting pupils achievements through the food court radio. Our Heads of House and Sports Ambassadors are looking into the prospect of holding a Sports Personality of the Year at some point for our sporting heros within the school. Finally, to fundraise for the school, we are looking into the possibility of trying to break a world record!
