School Council Bonfire Night Invite 2012
We hope to see you there!
School Council 2012-13
22 September, 2012 Leave a Comment
Our School Council Reps for 2012-13 have been voted in. The team have lots of big ideas and are keen to work together for the good of the school. Recycling was top of the agenda in their first active and productive meeting, and this project is now back up and running. Playground timetables too were fairly agreed upon.
We are very proud of our School Council and consider this to be a strong and well established feature of our school. We think it is very important that children have a means of discussing important issues about our school and have a forum for airing views and ideas.

Congratulations Year 3 Dolphins – Green Recycle Certificate Winners
10 May, 2012 Leave a Comment
The recycle tallies were recorded and counted on the final day of the month. The first class to win the Green Recycle Certificate – which entitles them to one extra special ‘Golden Time’ – were the Year 3 Dolphins. They collected an astounding 251 tallies – that’s 251 pieces of recycle items that, as the Dolphins say “ will help to make our world a better place!”
To compliment their success Year 3 created a rap to remind us of how important it is to recycle.
After much discussion, Year 3 have decided to put their extra ‘Golden Time’ towards a trip to our local Sandwich Shop where they will be able to create their own ‘healthy and delicious’ wrap (or rap!) or salad to eat for lunch. This relates really well to their ‘Healthy Eating’ topic in Science and their Design and Technology project of designing and making their own ‘healthy treat’. How excitingly scrumptious is that!
Our School Council’s Recycling Mission
27 April, 2012 Leave a Comment
Provo Primary School now has brown recycling bins on the premises. After a visit to the Recycling Plant last term, the School Council have a devised a simple ‘Recycling Mission’ to encourage us all to recycle. They hope you can all participate!
Their intentions are that all snack\lunch recyclable refuse will be taken home to be washed and placed in the brown bin located at the school entrance, in the mornings as you come into school. Other household recyclables can also be brought from home.
To encourage and entice your participation, they have created tally sheets for each class to record the number of objects placed in the bin. These tallies will be counted up each week and the class who collects the most tallies at the end of the month will receive a special ‘Recycle Certificate’ which will entitle the class to an extra ‘Golden Time’.
Well done, School Council. I wonder which class will collect the most recyclables this month? We look forward to an update on this fantastic initiative later in the term.
School Council Recycling Trip
3 March, 2012 Leave a Comment
Today, the School Council visited the TCI Waste Disposal Plant, on a fact finding mission to discover how we can play our part in recycling on the island. They learnt about the importance of recycling and the processes that our rubbish goes through at the plant. The children asked lots of questions and came away with lots of information and ideas. The school has 2 new recycling bins and the School Council will now be organising a whole school campaign to use them as much as we can. We would like to pass on a big thank you to Ramez Hakoura from TCI Waste Disposal for allowing us to visit. We look forward to learning more from him when he comes to our school to help the School Council lead an assembly on recycling . Click here to watch a local TV report about their trip.

A huge THANK YOU to Billy the carpenter, our School Council and Nana Beezy for helping us to create our school signs, one for the front entrance… and one for the back. And they were ready just in time for our Christmas Performance – we really didn’t want anyone to lose their way and miss the fantastic show!
A fabulous team effort!

It’s a Sign!
10 November, 2011 Leave a Comment
Watch this Space! Not only have the School Council have been busy doing a survey to find out which colour scheme to use for our new sign – for the front and back of the school; but they have also been busy arranging and attending appointments with Mr Billy – the carpenter – to discuss and measure up the rather large pieces of wood needed for our new signs.
Thank you Mr Billy and ‘great work’ to the School Council. We can’t wait to see what happens next!
2011 School Council’s First Week in Office!
8 October, 2011 Leave a Comment
Busy busy! With campaigns and elections over last week, the newly appointed School Council have met twice already this first week to discuss new ideas to help make our school and its environment an even better place to be!
Our first meeting involved lots of very interesting discussions and points of views about particular issues that the class representatives had already accumulated from their class members – WOW, how efficient! Well done to the new representatives. I have a feeling we will be having a very productive year ahead!
A super ‘well done’ to all of those pupils who placed themselves forward as representatives. The feedback from teachers was really positive. They were not only impressed by how well you all put yourselves forward, but also by how responsible and earnest you all were about your role as a school representative. We are very proud of YOU!

Helping Children go to School in Haiti
3 November, 2010 Leave a Comment
Last week Peter and Eliza visited us at Provo Primary to share with us a project very close to their hearts. They, along with many others, work hard to support and care for children in Caracol Children’s Home in Haiti.
After hearing it costs as little as $15 to send a child to school for a month, we thought we could try and fundraise to send as many children as we could to school. The children decided that they would like donate their month Dress Down Day $1 donations to the children’s home. Amazingly, we managed to raise a whopping $264.71! This will send 17 children to school this month.
All the teachers at the school would like to thank the children who lovingly and generously gave their own pocket money to help. The School Council has made it a priority to keep the school updated with news from the Caracol Children’s home.

How fantastic would it be if we could send children to school every month! The challenge is on…

School Council Elections
29 May, 2007 1 Comment
We have decided to start a School Council in order to enable the children to have more of a say in the decision making process and further influence the way that the school develops.
Each class had to choose two children to represent them on the Council and take their views to the meetings.
