Our Pupil Council is great! It gives us the chance to help everyone to improve our school! We have fantastic Representatives who had to nominate themselves and were then elected for their skills and qualities. If you have any suggestions or ideas you would like the Pupil Council to discuss and work on, then talk to your Class Representative who can bring it up at our next meeting.

The Pupil Council

The Eco Committee have been very busy working on a range of initiatives.

The Environmental Review : We have discovered that Park View pupils are very good at keeping our school litter free! We need to work on reducing the amount of energy we use so we now have class Eco Monitors who will keep an eye on this.

The Eco Code: Some of our Eco Representatives have been writing a poem which will be displayed in each class as our school’s Eco Code.

‘Scoop the Poop’ Competition: The Eco Committee designed posters to encourage people in the local community to clean up after their dogs. The competition was organised by Burgh Primary and the winning entry will be printed in the Rutherglen Reformer.
