The Archbishop Lanfranc School

School Council Meeting - 14 October 2011

On the Agenda:

• Progress from last year’s School Council suggestions
• 3G pitch - should it be opened?
• Fundraising
• Once a month food changes

Progress from last year

• Extra 5 minutes are helping at lunch
• Gives you time to queue
• Still long queues
• Longer break time (45 minutes) would  mean school ending later

3G pitch - should it be opened at lunch times?

• The sports hall is open at lunch
• Messing up the artificial surface
• Not allowed to bring food on it
• Expensive to replace

General opinion was ‘no’ to this suggestion as there were concerns that the pitch would be ruined by unsupervised use.

More mini-bus fundraising

• Mufti days are a success
• Stealing stickers/ making a list of who has paid? Tutors collect it themselves
• Getting boring
• List of people who haven’t paid  
• Stage, pay to sing – the busking was successful

Decision to ask staff to chase those who have not paid.  This will be done via Leadership Group.

Once a month food changes

• We really enjoy the ‘Italian Day’ on Languages Day
• Jerk Chicken – can we have more flavour?
• We are not used to other cultures food
• Opportunity to try new foods
• Not  allowed salt on tables
• It’s good for us to try foods from other countries
• A different country’s food each month e.g. Spain, India...

Walid will speak to Mary (Canteen Manger) to ask if it’s possible to have ‘food from a different country’ theme day each month.

AOB

  • Talent show
  • Singing contest
  • Pyjama days
