THE school council at St Breward Primary School worked extremely hard all of last year to earn their Silver Learner Participation Award, and their efforts have been rewarded.

The school council members have actively listened to student voice and taken on board the idea and opinions of their peers throughout the year. They have implemented a number of their suggestions, including new cooking equipment and a stereo system for outside.

During the last academic year the school council were also focusing really hard on achieving its Healthy School Award. The school has undergone a lot of changes in order to achieve this and is currently waiting for confirmation of the award.

The school council have also raised money for a number of charities including Children in Need, Pirate FM’s ‘Tonne of tins’ and Save the Children. All members of the school council had an important part to play, and they have been directly involved with their school and the wider community.

A school spokesperson said: “We were delighted to be invited to Truro County Hall on Friday, July 19, to be presented with our Silver Learner Participation Award. The school council were all very excited, and presented a well-planned presentation to a number of other schools about the work they had done throughout the year.”

The school council will now work towards obtaining their Gold Learner Participation Award next year.
