Parking has not. Several members said that careless parking was worrying them.

Minutes of the meeting 26.6 15
Members present
Henry, Jodie, Quinn, Amelie, Lois, Nathaniel, Dominic, Emily, Lloyd, Ellie, Ruben, Neve, Callum, Ruby.
School Prayer.
Led by Henry.
Agenda
Action
After much heated discussion, school council have agreed to put up signs to remind drivers to consider the safety of the children whilst parking. A simple logo will be designed that can also be put into the newsletter. It was also felt that someone with authority from the school or police should be involved in policing the area.
Many ideas were discussed. One suggestion to take forward to next year was that staff could be supported by a group of responsible children, possibly peer mediators.
A more immediate solution, however, was that the ares should be separated off more securely as the ribbons are too easily ignored. Again signs will be made to remind children of the rules (Emily and Lois to do)
A.O.B.
Football.- A request was made that football could be allowed again in the astro turf.
This was discussed and Council agreed that this part of the summer term should be for tennis, as it is an opportunity for non football lovers to enjoy their sport. It was also noted that tennis is much less dominated by the boys. It was suggested, however, that maybe as everyone is on the field a ball could be used on the playground. Mrs. Rees will look into the safety of this.
End of term celebrations
A request was made for a whole school picnic. It was agreed, however, that the beech trip is in fact a whole school picnic and that this is a truly special end of term celebration. Any classes wishing to do more than this can discuss with their own teacher.
Mrs Rees thanked everyone for their contributions.
Date of next meeting Friday 3.7.15.

Agenda
- Update on the collection for Nepal
- Parking
- Dens
- Collection for Nepal. The final amount raised by the trackathon for Nepal was more than £1,600! This money was sent straight to the Nepal Emergancy fund and is now helping people to rebuild their lives. Well done to everyone involved, you have made a huge difference to the lives of people in need.
- Parking. Several school council representatives have been approached as children are very concerned at the manner in which cars are being parked in and around the school at the beginning and end of the school day. Members reported having seen cars parked on the yellow lines and even on the roundabout!

- Dens School council members felt that the dens are still an area where behaviour is poor. Many felt that duty staff were often distracted by children needing help and then others take advantage by going into the dens.
