<br />
We had a successful stall at the recent Bradford Bazaar where Xanthe helped us organise a 'Shave the Balloon' stall. She had great organisational skills and showed she can really be relied on to follow her ideas through. Xanthe tested her plan out and thought of all the 'pitfalls' and safety issues before 'real people' tried it at the Bazaar.<br />
The council all pulled together and made a great team coming into school to help organise there stall the day before.<br />
<br />
Reyana and Abbie organised a great Bradford Showcase at the end of last term for everyone the school.<br />
<br />
Katelyn and Mya have written and sent a letter to try to access some school high vis walking vests.<br />
<br />
Milkshake Mondays and Frothy Fridays have also been a success - thanks to those council members who have been helping out with these.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Council Meeting Thurs April 26 12:50pm</strong><br />
<br />
Present: Katelyn, Lynley, Sarah, Declan, Reyana, Abbie, Xanthe & Mya<br />
<br />
One of the ideas mentioned last term was to have a Book Character Dress Up Day.<br />
We talked about the parent info night next week on reading and how this could be a good time to do the dress up day and have a week promoting reading.<br />
A plan was drawn up together - we decided to run the reading week in week 3 so we can tell parents about it at the info night.<br />
Some ideas were: Book Cover competition, relatives book day, bring your favourite book day, invite and author, council want to read a book each day at lunch-time to others.<br />
<br />
Lynley brought up the idea of Subway and asked why this had stopped - Mrs MB explained that subway had decided we didn't have enough orders each week for them to deliver to us. Lynley had a great idea to do a survey to see if interest was high again - now that people hadn't had it for a while.<br />
She will get back to us with her results.<br />
<br />
We talked about the council idea of a council pie eating competition. Mya and Declan are going to organise a jar to put in the foyer with an explanation. Once it's filled the council will have a race of who can eat a pie the fastest .... maybe a healthy pie they have made themselves?<br />
<br />
Colgate cartons - we have registered and are encouraging people to bring them in to win sports equipment for our school. Council is going to draw up a plan for a creative display to also enter into the competition.<br />
<br />
Council members will take over the minute taking /summaries of meetings for Term 2.<br />

Present: Reyana, Xanthe, Lynley, Declan, Sarah, Katelyn, Abbie & Mya & Mrs MB<br />
<br />
This is our very first meeting - our new council is made up of Reyana, Xanthe, Lynley, Declan, Sarah, Katelyn, Abbie & Mya<br />
<br />
For our first meeting we are discussing ideas on how we would like to run our meetings and special things for them.<br />
<br />
Talking one at a time<br />
Active listening<br />
Letting others talk and not interrupting - it's not all just about you<br />
Negotiate rather than argue<br />
If you try to share an idea - don't barge in and say yours is the best (me too listening)<br />
If your idea doesn't get voted for be positive - not all ideas can be used all the time <br />
Remember our values - show respect, help each other (awhina), Aim high, (Kia Runga Rawa), Integrity<br />
<br />

The 30/35 result was in favour of having a Year 6 only council this year with the Year 5 students being involved in Term 4 of this year and having automatic selection onto the council for 2012.<br /><br />Well done to everyone involved and I look forward to working with you all over the course of the year.<br /><br />The first meeting for the 2011 School Council is on Thursday 31 March at 12.30pm in the Library, please bring your lunch.<br /><br />Ms. DUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948406264353938367.post-25546170689637754602011-02-15T17:11:00.001-08:002011-02-15T17:26:44.533-08:002011 - School Council ApplicationsI know that many of you have been looking at this site and awaiting news of council selection for the year - well here it is!!<br /><br />I would be thrilled if as many of you as possible want to apply and I am always available to help you with your application - don't feel that you can't apply because you don't have any ideas or perhaps you don't have a computer at home as I can help you with all of that!<br /><br />If you are in Year 5 or Year 6 then please feel free to apply. I know that Mrs. M-B has been talking about a mini-inquiry of whether or not the council should be limited to just Year 5 and 6 students. The door to this idea is not closed but I think it's time to get the ball rolling.<br /><br />Being on the School Council means that you have your 'say' in your school and the things that happen in it.<br />It also means that you are an identifiable 'role model' who is interested in leadership activities. <br />Perhaps you have a particular 'area of interest' within the school e.g mentoring juniors; writing our pieces for the newspaper; running the school canteen; organising events such as discos/family days/pet days, being responsible for 'healthy' choices within the school, etc. If you do have a particular interest in any of these areas then do say why you would like to this particular role in your application.<br /><br />You can use whatever format you like to present your application e.g. powerpoint, video, movie, poster, speech, paper copy or anything else you would like.<br />You must say why you would be a good 'council' member. What your strengths and abilities are and how these will benefit our school and also if you have any new ideas to bring to the council/school.<br />If you would like any help with this or more information then come and see me, or email me please: principal@bradford.school.nz<br /><br />ALL applications will be presented by yourself at a school assembly.<br /><br />Applications need to be in NO LATER than Friday 25 February. Please note that late entries will not be accepted.<br /><br />Following the closing date I will post more information on the blog.<br /><br />Thank you and good luck!<br />Ms.DUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948406264353938367.post-61642267987167944592010-11-16T15:40:00.000-08:002010-11-16T15:48:45.663-08:00Meeting - 17 November 2010Everyone present<br /><br />Fun Day - Relatives Day next Friday<br />All Year 6s and Council Members to make their plan for their activity.<br />Briarna to write a note to invite family/friends - join us for a BBQ and stay on for the activities in the afternoon.<br />Ms. D to give Samara and Briarna time this afternoon to complete these.<br /><br />Pet Day - Samara and Briarna must work on the schedule and the letters to pet shops asking for prizes.<br /><br />Council Speech - JM needs to make some progress on this.<br /><br />Jeannie to collect stars today for Starship Foundation - leave in Ms. D's office and then we will judge tomorrow and post away.<br />Mornington Messenger article - Ms. D will give Jeannie time this afternoon.<br /><br />Sam - did Mrs. T want something from the McCain promotion?
