The School Council 2016

The school council election is when the classes all vote for one or two people to be on the council representing them.
If they want to be on the council you fill in the application form and write a speech. They must tell the class why they should be in the school council.
After that the class has a secret vote. That's when they get a piece of paper and write down the name of the person they think will do the best job on the council.

A councilor helps the school fundraise for lots of different things like swings, playgrounds and ipads.
They also organize fun days and the events. They meet every Tuesday and have a Captain (Kate Taylor) Secretary (Isla Adams) and Vice Captain (Hayden Smith). The rest are class representatives.
Kody, Nick and Charlie all applied and worked hard on their speech. It was very close as they all had some good points an information.
Phillipa (Pippi) was voted in as Room 5's class councilor. She felt wonderful and excited,

At the moment we are collecting ideas from all the kids in the school and deciding what our project will be for this year.

Here is the 2016 Maungatapere School Council.
