The Boys and Girls of Brooklands can't wait to be able to meet again as a Pupil Council, where they will raise matters important to them, promote kindness to one another and the planet on which we live and share.

Watch this space for more, when restrictions allow us to come together and make more super plans for the year ahead. Meantime, thank you to all of our pupils for looking after each other within your 'bubbles' and for caring for our school community and grounds. 

You are what makes Brooklands the special place that it is. Keep your ideas coming and we will get together soon to make some of those ideas reality this year.

Many thanks, Mrs Smart

The Boys and Girls of the Pupil Council would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year when it comes! 

We look forwards to 2021 and getting our many projects underway, such as walking and cycling events, gardening projects, creating our outdoor classroom, and writing more letters to the Ladies and Gentlemen from Towell House. 

We have loved our Mellow Yellow day, our Fitness Fundraiser Day and our Christmas Jumper and Movie Day so far this year, with more fun and laughs to come in 2021! 

Thanks to your kindness, our Christmas Jumper Day raised £416.20 for Asfaw's Asra Hawariat school in Ethiopia. This is a school we have supported for many, many years and we are proud to continue these links today. 

Thanks to Alan from the PSNI for coming in this week to talk to us all about keeping ourselves safe this Christmas Holiday, as we look after ourselves, and each other!

See you all soon, for more great activities to help our school, community and the Planet, into 2021!

Love from The Pupil Council

Hi Boys and Girls,

Welcome to our new school year 2020-21!

In Brooklands we value your ideas, suggestions, and participation so much, through all that we do in school, so this year we will find new ways in which to connect with each other, whilst our class 'bubbles' are in place. 

Watch this space for idea and information sharing sessions, as we tackle new projects, from the comfort of our own classrooms!

I hope this finds you all well, and ready to start an exciting new year back in Brooklands, where your opinions and ideas matter as much as ever!

We can't wait to hear about your hopes for our school, and all that you have to share!

Take care and I will be in touch soon.

Best Wishes for the new school year, from Mrs Smart  

Academic Year: 2019-20

Our Pupil Councillors are looking ahead to projects to tackle within the new year...

We are keen to develop our outdoor grounds and were delighted to be awarded a grant from Love Live Here, to the value of £1400 to help us towards our goals! We have plans for a sensory garden, with an outdoor classroom space using logs as seats, so watch this space! :)

Inspire Business Park are kindly donating fruit trees for our grounds, as well as providing a gardener to help us carry out our projects, and learn new skills along the way.

Mr McMillan our caretaker is helping us to build equipment for our playground, and The Men's Shed have built an outdoor kitchen for our infant playground, which is wonderful!

We are still collecting your old school uniforms, so that we may run a 'Pre-Loved Uniform Shop' next year, which will help the environment and our purse strings when buying school uniforms throughout the year.

The Waste Education Bus is booked once more, where the nursery children, as well as P2, P4, P6 and P7 classes will learn all about reusing and recycling our waste, with an opportunity for some arts and crafts using junk materials too!

Another main focus for this year is to tackle single - use plastics in school and at home. One pupil councillor has already designed a brochure to educate and persuade us all to rethink our choices when it comes to single-use plastics, and we look forward to making these vital changes in school as well as at home.

As a pupil council committed to looking after each other and the environment in which we live, we know that if we all make small changes, together we can achieve something great! 

Thank you to everyone for being a part of something very special, and very important within our school and community as a whole!
