Oathall’s new student parliament.
Oathall Student Voice (OSV) will officially launch on Friday 28 February.
OSV is about working together to improve the school for everyone. It enables students to have their views about five key areas of school operations heard:
- Environment – school grounds, buildings, recycling etc
- Teaching and learning – comments, suggestions
- Student support – anti-bullying, buddying
- Health and fitness – initiatives eg health eating week
- Community – charity, fundraising activities, enrichment.
It offers a forum for students to ask direct questions to members of staff regarding an idea / issue that was raised in student councils. It also allows staff the opportunity to respond to the questions and / or formulate and share a plan of action to take the idea/ issue forward to the next stage.
The existing school council activities will feed into the work of Oathall’s new parliament; MPs will represent different portfolios and have a term to work on projects/ initiatives before reporting back at the next sitting of parliament.
Look out for more information and updates soon!
