Luke, our RRS representative was invited to our School Council meeting to review the progress we have made towards becoming a Rights Respecting School.
Generally we felt that everyone is aware of the RRS intentions and fully supported this as the way forward for our school. Several members felt that parents didn't keep up with developments in the school and suggested we could advertise our blog more. The school council were unanimous in their belief that class sharters and teacher's use of Rights and Responsibilities language had improved the behaviour in their classrooms. All felt, however, that we still needed to improve matters at playtime. It was again suggested that the playground charters were not obvious enough and we should work towards addressing this.
School council agreed that their is a strong student voice at our school and had been particularly proud to be part of the interviewing process for teachers to work in year 3. [March 2010]
Everyone felt they contributed to the planning and development of learning in their classes.
All council members felt that we were very good as a school at responding to crises and acting on behalf of children in difficulty at home and abroad.
