Visit by student council to Woking Council Chambers
On 12th February the school council visited the
Woking Council Chambers and met with the Mayor of Woking Councillor Anne
Roberts.
The students were shown into the chambers by the Mayor’s
secretary and then the Mayor explained how the council worked and how the
democratic process worked.
She spoke about the history of Woking and its councils and
their various responsibilities relating to the residents of Woking and its
boroughs; she then went on to explain the role of mayor and the traditions
behind the robes and mace. The students then were invited to ask questions; the
questions were well thought and insightful. Finally, all the students were
invited to attend one of the council meetings to see the council in full swing.
All students conducted themselves excellently and were a
real credit to the school.
Start the Day Right Breakfast
On 13th February the students who attend the
Start the Day Right breakfast with Mrs Bracher and Mr Davis went to Sainsbury’s
to buy supplies for the breakfast they were going to cook for their tutors, Mr
Reed and Mrs Alexander. The trip was a great success with the students
understanding how to budget for a meal and buying the necessary items.
On Friday 14th they came in early to cook a range
of breakfast goodies including pancakes with fresh fruit, expertly flipped by
the students, sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs and range of hot and cold drinks.
The feedback from the tutors and year team was very complimentary. “I thought it was brilliant, great to see
the students taking on the responsibility. I think they got a sense of pride
and achievement from planning, making and serving us a meal. The students I have
seen today have all been glowing with pride and put a lot of extra effort into
their work!”
Fried or scrambled?
