School Council and Pupil Voice



At St Anne’s we aim to be a community that fosters positive relationships. We believe that Pupil Voice is an integral part of our school community. By providing our pupils with the opportunities to have their say and influence our school for the better, we empower our pupils to achieve their dreams and aspirations.

Through representation on School Council and as Friendship and Sports Ambassadors we give our pupils the key skills of:

Self-esteem

Commitment

Organisation

Resilience

Excellence

Our Pupil Voice plays an important role in:

Collecting pupil opinions through the school

Reporting back to senior leaders and governors

Organising whole school events

Raising money for charity

Completing environmental projects

In all we do:  We Learn to Love and Love to Learn.....in Readiness for Life.

Christmas Cards

Our Friendship Ambassadors made  lovely cards to send out to people in care homes who are lonely at Christmas. We hope they will bring them some festive cheer.

 

 

Remembrance Day

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

Thank you so much to everyone who brought in their hand prints. We had so many we ended up making two wreaths! We loved reading all of your messages of remembrance, hope and peace.

 

 

Children in Need

Thank you to everyone who came in their own clothes and brought in donations. We raised over £200 as a school which will help children across the world who are in need of our help.

 

 

Friendship Ambassadors

Look out for our Friendship Ambassadors on the playground at break and lunchtime. They will be around ready to help anyone who is feeling lonely or just fancies a chat.

 

 

Previous Projects

Pupil Voice 2020-2021

This is our first project for this year. The Pupil Voice Rainbow Challenge will be in each child’s SCORE Passport. There will be six challenges posted over the year. The seventh box is for a random act of kindness, and will be awarded by your teachers. For each challenge you complete, you will receive a stamp.  Anyone who completes all of the challenges will be entered into a prize draw at the end of the year.

 

 

Challenge 1 – Set  by our Sports Ambassadors

In November, Joe Wicks did an incredible 24 hour workout for the BBC Children in Need Challenge 2020. At St Anne’s we aimed to match this! We asked all of our children to pledge 15 minutes of fitness.

Our amazing Sports Ambassadors thought of five exercises that anyone could try at home or in school.

A massive thank you to everyone who pledged their 15 minutes!

We are proud to announce that as a school we managed to nearly double our target of 24 hours.

We also raised £270 which was split between Children in Need and the Poppy Appeal.

Thank you for all of your support!

 

 

Friendship Ambassador Project

We had a call from one of our local care homes. The residents were in need of some festive cheer and our Friendship Ambassadors decided to write them some Christmas letters. They all looked lovely. Well done for your hard work!

 

School Council

Our School Councillors made this to share with the local community. It was posted in the St Helens Star in December. The star includes all of the things they felt would be most important in Christmas 2020.

 

Sports Ambassadors

Our Sports Ambassadors wanted to find out more about Saints Rugby League.
We sent off some questions to the team and are waiting for our video replies!

These are our questions:

What was your favourite subject in school?
When did you start playing rugby?
How do you keep fit and healthy?
What do you do to improve your skills?
How much practise do you have to do?
How do you relax after a game?
Our SCORE values are Self-Esteem, Commitment, Organisation, Resilience and Excellence. Which of these do you think is most important as a rugby player?

 

Friendship Shout Out Books

These lovely books have been created by our Friendship Ambassadors. Children in each class have the opportunity to write down acts of kindness from their teachers, helpers and friends and place them in the book to celebrate friendship at St Anne’s.
