On Friday 15th November four Student Council members went to the Inner West Community Youth Summit to represent the children in our school. They found out about democracy, met the local councillors and asked them questions to find out more about their role.
After that, the children worked in groups to decide how the councillors should spend their budget to support children in Leeds with activities for after school and during the holidays. This created some interesting discussion about cost, how many children could attend and how long each club lasted, so that they could get good value for money. Finally they got to meet the Lord Mayor of Leeds in the Council Chambers and ask her questions.
All of the children who attended enjoyed the visit and were amazing role models for our school asking some thoughtful questions and sharing their ideas.
