THE RECYCLE ROTA
BRITISH VALUES
Whilst in the Student Council, we have been sorting out the recycling
rotas and promoting them. This is so we can get most paper
that normally goes into the bin, into our recycling bins, making
our school greener. People who help student services will empty
these every couple of days, keeping them tidy so there will be less
rubbish wasted. Please look out for a more consistent programme of
emptying recycling boxes around the school and let us know if you
think we're missing any!

EU DAY
In the wake of the EU referendum, we decided to hold our own
referendum on the 3rd March. Through the first two
periods of the day, we learnt about the EU and what
it means to be a member of the EU. We learnt
about the Schengen Agreement, which is the free
movement of people within the EU and we learnt
about Norway, a country that never joined the
union and is the closest comparison to what life
outside the EU could look like. In lessons we
explored the impact of both leaving or remaining
on such things as; trade, employment and law
making. Every pupil voted to either stay or to
leave. The final result was 81% of votes in
favour of remaining in the EU. We are now looking
forward to the 23rd of June to see the result of
the actual referendum!

As the Student Voice, we wanted
to promote the positive message of
British Values within our school. These
include the key ideas of Democracy,
The Rule of Law, Individual Liberty and
Mutual Respect. These values are at
the core of everything the Kimberley
School stands for and we also some
times have stand alone sessions on
the topics. To promote these further
we have designed some new posters
and circulated them around the school.
Look out for them and let us know
what you think!
