Our newly elected Student Council are an essential component of our Active School mission. Charlie, Jamie, Michaela, Ellen, Aislinn, Mia, Shay, Michael, Ciara and Lauren were all democratically elected by the children from 1st-6th class, after they bravely spoke in front of the school community as to why they would be good representatives for their fellow students. They will be busy in the coming months developing ideas for a more active school and communicating activities and initiatives to the classes.

Active School Slogan
Run Fast, Run Slow,
It doesn't matter, just go!
The children from each classroom came up with some wonderful ideas for an active school slogan. After much deliberation one created by Hannah Ormonde in First Class, got chosen. It's so catchy and effective!
