How does YOUR voice get heard?Remember … If you have an idea or suggestion and

would like to bring it to school council you must speak to your form reps.

They will take it to the house council to be discussed and then forward it to the school council.

Your house captain will then feed back what has been discussed and keep you up-to-date.

So far we have...

Reflection

We are all part of society and our school community. Help us to understand our rights as students in Newport High School. Teach us to be responsible for student voice and get involved in all opportunities to impact positively on our school improvement.
