School Council
Each academic year at Ranelagh starts with a very important job...electing the school council, there is one representative from each class. Voting for our school council members creates a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to learn about democracy. From this the council members elect a chairperson, secretary and treasurer.
Meetings take place with school council members and Miss Felgate. The meeting is run according to an agenda and minutes are taken so we can refer back to what has been discussed. Having weekly/fortnightly meetings enable issues to be discussed as they arise and hopefully, result in a speedy solution.
The successful candidates must have the following attributes: reliability, fairness, honesty, enthusiasm, be approachable and confident. Above all else, they must be committed in their role of representing our school and community.
Meet this years school council.........
Once again we chose to support our local food bank FIND (Families In Need) with our Harvest collection this year. Some of the volunteers came to speak to us about their work with the charity. We are proud to know that our donations were included in over 500 Christmas hampers for those in need.
This year we raised £383.44 for the Royal British Legion. We visited Christchurch Park to attend the Remembrance Day Service at the cenotaph. We took time to each lay a cross and look at photographs of those who lost their lives who lived in our region.
For Children's Mental Health Week this year we had a visit from Suffolk Minds and Ipswich Town mascot Bluey.
Over the year we have been helping to raise money for St Elizabeth Hospice through various events. Christmas Jumper Day, Crazy Hair for the Hare Day and an Easter Raffle to help us to raise over £300!
