OUR PUPIL AMBASSADORS IN SCHOOL
OUR WONDERFUL PUPIL AMBASSADORS
At Waterfoot our pupils' voice is key to developing our school. In school, we have a wide range of pupil groups who lead whole school on a range of initiatives and ventures to ensure we are continually growing and developing. We currently have a school council, a green-team, equality champions, happiness heroes and librarians.
WE ARE THE SCHOOL COUNCIL
Hi, we are the School Council. We help to make sure that all the children’s voices in our school are heard! We help to make decisions for our school community. We often take part in special assemblies. This year we have talked about World Mental Health Day and International Braille day. We have written our school Equality Charter for children in our classes and developed our housepoint system in school. We like to fundraise for charities, especially in our local community.
WE ARE THE EQUALITY CHAMPIONS
We work with the adults in school to ensure we as a school celebrate diversity, promote inclusion and champion kindness and respect for everyone. We work with our teachers to identify ways to make our classrooms, the playground and school activities more inclusive for all. We also participate in events that help raise awareness of other cultures, backgrounds and abilities. We champion celebrating our differences! We now have achieved four equality badges as a school so far!
WE ARE THE GREEN TEAM
The green team work on all things environmental, from recycling in school to energy saving to running our Eco-Shop. The Green team raise awareness of ‘green issues’ in school through assemblies. They also have an important pupil voice on such matters in regular meetings with Mrs Swan, our Geography lead. They have an important role this year leading the way on sustainability.
WE ARE THE HAPPINESS HEROES
Our role is to be myHappymind ambassadors for the school to lead the way in helping all children look after their own happiness. We help ensure all our pupils in school are happy, spreading positive messages and happy breathing techniques around the school. We lead on assemblies linked to mental health and MyHappymind whole school assemblies too. We have been awarded our prestigious GOLD Accreditation as a school and are one of the few schools in the country to have reached this status! We are very proud!
