The School Council 2023
Our School / Eco Council plays a leading role in School development. We have come up with lots of fantastic ideas to make our school a better place, support our community and the wider world. We also find ways to learn how to help look after the environment.
Did you know that the Council has been responsible for lots of changes at school?
- Arranging interesting visitors to school
- Fundraising and sponsoring a child in Kenya
- Planting trees, plants and homes for mini-beasts
- Saving electricity and recycling waste - check out our recycling area in the school lobby
- Supporting the Droitwich Foodbank
- Raising money for and supporting national and world-wide charities: Comic Relief. Children in Need, Christian Aid, Barnardo’s to name a few.
This year we are also raising money to get playground equipment to improve our playtimes and much, much more!
We are democratic and so vote for our Council members, but we try to make sure that everyone has the chance to be involved in their time at Tibberton.
Come in and have a look at our noticeboard in school!
Youth Council - Our Year 3 Councillors are now part of the Droitwich Youth Council with their peers from the local First, Middle and High Schools. They have started off this newly formed group by exploring what we like and what we would like to improve in our local area. They will be working with Wytchavon Council to choose some projects which will make a difference to our wider community.
Youth Councillors Visit Wychavon Council Chambers
Our Youth Councillors had an incredible opportunity to step into the world of local government during their visit to Wychavon Council Chambers. Throughout the day, they engaged in a series of activities that tested their decision-making and leadership skills.
They tackled budgeting challenges, making difficult choices about how to allocate funds, and presented a petition to the council advocating for a much-needed Droitwich Youth Club. The day also included a lively Q&A session with councillors, where they discussed key issues affecting young people in our community. To round off the experience, they took part in a mini-election managed by official council election staff, giving them hands-on insight into the democratic process.
The thoughts and ideas shared by our Youth Councillors will be taken forward to the next full council meeting and will help shape future council priorities. A huge thank you to Cllr Richard Morris, Cllr Rob Adams, Cllr George Duffy, and Cllr Nicola Morris for their time and support in making this a valuable and inspiring experience for our young leaders.
