School Council at Hemington
Each year our classes elect a school council. 2 representatives are chosen in Butterflies, Kingfishers and Otters. They elect pupils who can act as the class and school voice as well as having qualities to support wellbeing for the school and their peers. Our School Council meet once every half term. Additionally, in Otters pupils apply for leadership roles . We call these the pupil leadership team or PLT. These represent the school at events, meet and greet visitors, help chair council meetings and contribute to celebration assemblies. Other roles in school include: -Hemington House Point Monitor -Hemington Photographer -Positive Vibe Club Leader -Playground Buddy's Last year, our school ambassadors organised competitions to design new house point shields and mottos, met parents at Harvest, Easter and Christmas events, supported assemblies and helped design the annexe for the Midlands Airport grant that we have won. Here are the designs for our ‘new look’ shields.
