In our latest meeting, the topic of Food in the canteen was discussed . This is particularly pertinent in light of current Government legislation.

Catering Academy were good enough to a senior representative to the meeting to discuss any improvements and changes that could be made.

The suggestions have been taken away and we will feed back on these in future meetings

Anti-bullying ambassadors

15 Academy Councillors have been trained as anti-bullying ambassadors at a special event at St George’s School. They will play an important role in raising awareness of the Academies anti-bullying policies and be involved in Dynamic Days in the near future.

Prospective members of the College Parliament met with members of the executive SLT today to put forward the College Council's proposals regarding rewards. Zahra, Adam and Josh spoke with passion and enthusiasm on the topic and put forward four proposals which the SLT will now cost and Mr Naylor will implement.

• Fast passes for breaktime and lunchtime with the option to bring a friend
• Students to choose reward trips to various places not just the cinema
• Points to be used as currency in dining room and shop within College
• Staff to be encouraged to award points for good classwork and homework and an INSET session to be run on this

These proposals should be in place by February half term. This is the first representation by the College Council to the Exec SLT and the students enjoyed it immensely. The College Council under Mr Naylor's leadership is really beginning to make a difference to the lives of students at St. Mary's.
