DON’T DROP IT!

studentvoicekhctc — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:16:10 +0000

Why is it that people still drop so much litter today, even when we all know that we should keep our environment litter free and tidy? So much litter is dropped on and off the kirk hallam site every day, so what can we do to stop it?

People (students and adults) need to be aware of the impact litter can have on the lake and the meadows surrounding the school, and the danger it can cause to wildlife.

I invite students to think of ideas for a new poster campaign that can be used around school to encourage students to use the bins. However, the challenge is for the poster to really get through to the conscience of the most hardened students, the ones who don’t want to be told what to do, no matter how much damage it is causing to the environment. How can we make those students care?

Most of us always take our litter with us, or put it in the bins, but where are we going wrong with the other minority of students?

YR7 Student Council Representatives

studentvoicekhctc — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 16:07:30 +0000

Congratulations to Heather Reeve 7CS and Sigrid Mularczyk 7KI, who were both elected as the school council representatives for their year group. On Friday 5th October all candidates were broadcasted giving their candidate speeches in assembly. As they were projected onto the big screen, all students listened intently to what they had to say. Students were then given voting slips, and the votes came rolling in. It was a very close battle, particularly between 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place. The percentage of votes went in the following order:

14% Ben Gregory

16% Lucy Tanner

17% Alice Bennett

22% Sigrid Mularczyk

31% Heather Reeve

Congratulations to all of the students who took part, and although not all of them could be representatives, I do hope that they will still have the enthusiasm to be involved in Council activities in some way. Good luck to Heather and Sigrid.
