St Caths Award

In June the School Council at St Catherine’s Primary became runners up in the Speakers School Council Awards 2013. This is a competition that is run by the Speaker at the House of Lords and is entered by hundreds of schools across the country!

It is a way that school councils can tell people about the great projects they get involved in. The competition is judged by lots of important people and they choose the best projects to win and be runners up. We entered with a project we have been working on all year – our School Council newspaper ‘The School Councillor’.

We put this together every term for all the pupils in our school. Our school councillors report on events that have been happening in school like school trips and fundraising and we also have What’s Hot, What’s Not pages, puzzles and quizzes, Guess the Mystery Member of Staff and book and film reviews. It’s a great way to talk about the things that interest all pupils in school. Anyone can add pages by sending their page to their school council rep, who then adds it to the newspaper. It’s a fun paper and everyone looks forward to getting their copy!

We are very proud to have been runners up for the award and have received a plaque to put up in our school. On Friday the 19th July, Mr David Blunkett is coming into school to present us with the plaque. We are really excited to meet him and think it’s great that he has taken time to come and present us with the award.
