Student Council discuss the issues which matter to our students

On the last day of the last half-term, the theatre was buzzing as the School Council came together to discuss current issues which matter to our students. The agenda of each meeting is decided following feedback from class meetings and Year Council meetings.

This time, topics under discussion included managing the queue for the café, raising awareness of the range of extra-curricular clubs on offer, increasing the focus on praise and reward, and the possibility of offering more halal options in the café. As always, students engaged in lively debate and shared their ideas and opinions with enthusiasm.

Student Voice is a vital part of the Vandyke experience; it empowers students and helps them to understand that their opinions matter, they can influence change and they are part of an inclusive community. We’re already making changes as a direct result of this meeting, and look forward to coming together again at the end of this term.
