Matthew Wilkinson, Chair of River Beach School Council What I do Choose what goes on the agenda. Get through the agenda in a reasonable time. Help the Council make decisions about things that have been discussed on the agenda. 2

Introducing Arik Miah, vice chair of River Beach Primary School Council I keep in touch with all of the class reps Make sure that everyone who agrees to do something actually does it Lead meeting if Matthew is away 3

On our Agenda Every time we meet we try to have a visitor We try to let every year group talk about their ideas with everyone in School Council 4

Keeping the School positive If the School Council only moans and complains about things at School, very little will change. So we try to focus on good ideas will gain support of teachers and earn the council more respect. 5
