Pyjama and Movie Day

20/12/2021

0 Comments

 
Finally we get to organise a safe fundraising event! This Wednesday it's Pyjama and Movie day in our school. The SC are very excited about this event, especially in what the money being raised is going towards. The SC have told their individual classes as SC representatives but now they need to announce it and remind the whole school. Names of children willing to speak over the intercom were put in a hat and one child was drawn out. Here's hoping the nerves won't kick in on Tuesday.

Here are some photos of the SC putting up posters they made to let the school community know it is happening.

Car park posters

8/12/2021

The car park can be a busy place in the mornings and the afternoons. The student council decided to come up with some helpful posters to guide adults and children on best practice when accessing the car park/school grounds at peak times. Lots of thought went into it.....who is the target audience,what important safety issues need addressing and how to get people's attention. The student council worked in teams with a specific area in mind and designed their posters. They have been sent to a profession printer and mounted on material suitable for outdoor use.
​
I think they did an amazing job. Here is what they came up with. Next job is to hang and display the posters around the school campus.

Elections in Lisa's class.

WOW!! Amazing! It's unreal to see such interest, eagerness and commitment from the would be representatives wanting to join the SC. Remember these children are willing to give up (sacrifice more like it!) their yard time to be involved in what we do AND yard time is one of the best things about school (so many children have informed me!)
Here are the lovely pictures from Lisa's class .......

New school year, new members and new ideas!

The Student Council met up last week in the outdoor classroom. We haven't seen each other since the end of the summer so it was lovely to come together as a group, catch up on what we got up to over the holidays and to start planning what we would like to do this year for our school.

We were missing a few representatives though. Lisa's second class need to elect a new SC member and it is first class turn to be involved and represent their class level on the SC. They have been busy the last couple of weeks canvasing and holding elections in their class.  Can't wait for the results to come in!

VIP visit,photo op and seed bombs!

2/6/2021

Today the student council had the pleasure of welcoming Ed O'Brien, the Mayor of South Dublin County Council to our school. The Mayor was onsite to present our school with a box of Irish Wildflower Seed Bombs. The wildflower seed bombs will explode into growth, and develop into a beautiful display of colorful flora around our school when they are planted. Seed bombs will also create a wonderful wildlife friendly habitat for our country's pollinating insects. BEES! How cool is that! Making our school grounds look lovely and also giving a helping hand to nature. CLASS! 
​It was our first official engagement as student council, to meet and host an elected member of South Dublin County Council, to represent the students of our school and to have our photo taken by the ECHO. Lots of excitement and a little bit of nerves but boy did we do our school proud! As the grown up in the student council I was so proud them. They were fantastic. Interested, respectful, inquisitive, mature and most of all eager to talk about the roles and responsibilities members of the student council have. The Mayor asked a simple question..."what does student council do", I don't think he was prepared for the amount of answers and information he got back. We ran 15 minutes over time! 
Take a look at some of our photos from the event.....

Next week the S.C are meeting with Caitríona to put forward some of the proposals we have come up with.  It's the first time in our term as Student Council to do so.  A little bit of prep was involved - how to represent your class and school, how to address a person formally, how to put forward your proposal  accurately and how to get over the obvious nerves!
Having listened to everyone speak I know we'll nail it on the day!

Just as we were getting into the swing of things, lock down happened again and we didn't get return to school after our winter break for what seemed like ages!  Finally we're back on track!  We've had a few meetings since then and normality has been restored.  
Lots of ideas/suggestions are in the pipeline.  We are still working on the project we were doing before the closure but now we have some more proposals.  Watch this space!
