Kirkby Thore School Council was formed in 2004. We try to help improve school life for everyone in the school. Each year group elect 2 representatives to serve on the Council for half a year. The council meet every 2 weeks. Children write their suggestions for improving the school in suggestion books which are kept in each class. These ideas are discussed in the fortnightly meeting. The members report back to their classes after each meeting. Some of our achievements so far are: Raising money for games to be used in wet playtimes Fundraising for the Tsunami Appeal, Comic Relief and Children in Need, Keep our school tidy campaign (on-going) Re-cycling bins in each classroom Bibs for the buddies Being involved in the improvements of the school toilets Raising money for play-ground equipment (on-going) Ideas for the future include: Raising the profile of the School Council within the school community Improving our system of reporting back to our classes More fund-raising for charity More fund-raising for the school
