Our Student Leaders
There are many opportunities available for our learners to take on leadership positions within our school. Have a look at some of our fabulous student leaders and the amazing things they do to contribute to our school.
Cycle Ambassadors
Hi - we are the Cycle Ambassadors. We have been taught how to use the bikes correctly and how to use them safely. We will be able to teach others to use the bikes in a proper way. We think bikes support a healthy and sustainable world. Every class has a turn each week. It is cool to have our own track in our school.
Enviro-Team
Our Enviro team has been really busy planting and caring for our gardens. We are proud to have a thriving vegetable garden which is used to promote healthy eating habits throughout the school. Our amazing volunteer Sarah shares her knowledge of what to plant and how to plant. Miss Tavake and Ms Noakes work with the team on Mondays at lunchtime - weather permitting. If you would like to help out in our gardens please come and see us.
