Partnerships
Active School Committee
One of the most important partnerships in the Active School Flag programme is with the pupils of the school. It is important all pupils have an opinion on the initiatives and activities we carry out, so, at the beginning of the year, an Active School committee is selected. It is the role of the committee to represent their class at meetings, bring forward new ideas and share what we have discussed in the meetings with the other classes in the school. The committee members monitor activity on the yard and ensure that all their class mates are being active and people are ‘Doing their talking as they’re walking!’ Our committee members have also been very good at reminding their teachers to take movement breaks throughout the day and to ensure all pupils are aware that they need 60 minutes of physical activity EVERY day!
Take a look below at the photos of our Active School Committee for 2018-19 and 2019-20 as well as two examples of minutes from some of our meetings that take place throughout the year.
