School Council (Think Global, Act Local)
Our school council’s mission is to make a difference – in school and beyond. To reflect this mission we are referred to as the ‘Think Global, Act Local’ group which is also a link to the fact that we are all global explorers and are passionate about being courageous advocates in what is best for members of our community (which we see as being local, national and global).
We are proactive by supporting activities relating to our curriculum, planned events in our local community and national and global events and initiatives.
We are also reactive – encouraging our community to support local challenges and international appeals.
Our work is always underpinned by our core Christian Values, British Values (Rule of Law, Tolerance, Democracy, Mutual Respect and Individual Liberty) and equal opportunities.
Our initiatives already completed this year include:
- Collected and delivered donations to Cockerton Foodbank as part of Harvest Festival
- Led the whole school sponsored walk on World Mental Health Day to raise money for The Listening Point
- Led the ‘Big Bean Boost’
- Decorated Pudsey biscuits for the whole school for Children in Need
- Sold poppies for the annual appeal
- Led the whole school Remembrance Service on Cockerton Green
- Led Collective Worship in Anti-Bullying Week and inspired everyone to celebrate their uniqueness by wearing odd socks
- Made decorations for the Christmas tree in Santander for the annual Darlington Christmas Tree Festival
- Led the school’s work as part of UK Parliament Week, including running a ballot to choose their next project
