RCL June Report
The
Representative Council of Learners is working on many projects and is in the process of
trying to finish off as many as possible before this year runs away from us and our term
of office is over. Tricia Main, Lauren Reid
and Lisa Price attended the Junior School’s Student Representative Council (SRC)
meeting on Monday, 18 June, and were very encouraged by all the amazing help they have
offered the community in their outreach programme. Our
RCL and the prefects would love to support them in their ventures and appeal to you to
support us with this outreach programme.
As a
start on Friday 22 June, we asked all the learners to bring a bar of soap to give to the
needy people in Africa. On Wednesday, 20
June, the RCL held an assembly to report back to the school on recent suggestions and gave
them an opportunity voice further suggestions at the end of the assembly.
Some recent suggestions and projects:
It was suggested that
learners receive hats as part of their uniform to wear for sport. Various styles of hats were assessed and a colour
decided on - yellow. The school was shown the
hats and a letter will be sent to parents next term with details, including prices.Hand
air dryers were requested for the bathrooms. This option was rejected after consultation.
Instead, it was agreed that the current towels would be changed after every break.
The Governing Body is
in the process of organising a coin phone at the school as well as the already fitted card
phone.
The learners have
suggested that pre-paid lunches be available at Wynberg.
The matter is currently under investigation, but because of the extra
administration and preparation that would be involved, it is unlikely to happen unless
there are more parents who are able to offer their assistance in the tuckshop. We
therefore appeal to all parents to offer their services for this vital need of their
daughters!!
The learners
have asked if they could use the computers at break.
It would then mean that a teacher would have to be in the computer room at all
times. This matter is being assessed.
It was
suggested that we start re-cycling at Wynberg but it was rejected as it takes up a lot of
room and there would need to be a great deal of support from parents to run the project.
A
shelter has been requested to protect learners while they wait to be picked up after
school. The Governing Body is planning to implement this in the near future.
The matrics have asked for a driving school like the one we used to have in
the past. The company that used to run this
is not currently doing it any more and the school is not aware of any other companies that
sponsor these courses. If you are aware of anyone that does sponsor cars for school
driving courses, please contact the school
It
has been asked that we run a First Aid course at the school for girls who would be
interested. There will be a speaker coming to
the school next term and a course will follow shortly afterwards. Please encourage your daughters to join in because
the course is very beneficial.
Please keep
communicating your ideas to us on improvements for our school. Just talk to any of your
representatives
