At the beginning of the year, our Year 6 children had the opportunity to apply to become our head boy and girl. They had to produce a speech to deliver to the whole school and be voted for by all of the children.
Our head and deputy boys and girls are involved in lots of the decisions made in school, working closely with Mrs. Edwards (Head) to run the school as well as delegating jobs to other children in their class so that our school works brilliantly as one big team.
Our School council work with Mr Thomas and are involved in lots of the decision making that takes place in school, specifically the decisions affecting the children; including raising funds, charity events and deciding how the money raised should best be spent to benefit all of the children here at Abercanaid.
These children had to prepare a speech and were voted by their class mates to represent each class in the school.
Eco Council
Our Eco-Council work with Miss Tregoning and are in charge of helping to make our school more Eco friendly. They will be working on improving our school environment and highlighting the impact our actions have on the Earth's environment.
Here is a copy of the Lyrics to our Eco Code Song.
Digital Leaders
This year Miss Lester is running our digital leaders which also have an after school club on a Tuesday. They are in charge of looking after all our digital equipment, finding out about new games and apps and keeping everyone safe online.
Healthy Schools
Playground Leaders
This is run by Mrs Browne (HLTA) who works closely with each class to improve our schools health.
Every day, the whole school is involved in 20 minutes of fitness (called AberCanFit) where both children and staff participate in a range of activities such as circuits, running and dance.
Our playground leaders have developed games and activites to be played on our yards, during playtimes, dinner times and AberCanFit time. They ensure there is plenty of opportunity and support for our children to be active during the school day.
Rights Respecting Crew
Our Rights Respecting Crew are led by Miss Baker.
Criw Cymraeg
Our Criw Cymraeg help Mrs Chilcott to encourage lots of Welsh language to be spoken during school time.
JRSO's
Our JRSO's (Junior Road Safety Officers) group is led by Miss Griffiths and Lynsey Jones the JRSO officer for Merthyr Tydfil schools.
It is our duty and responsibility to keep the school and community safe by keeping everyone up to date with the rules of the road.
