Children's Roles and Responsibilities
At Abercanaid, our children have many roles and responsibilities around the school. Here are some of the titles that our children have earned.
Head Boy and Girl
Deputy Head Boy and Girl
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.
School Council
Our School council are involved in lots of the decision making that takes place in school, specifically the decisions affecting the children including raising funds and 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.
At Abercanaid, our Eco-Council are in charge of improving our school environment and 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 Baker 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.
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 where we do a range of activities such as circuits, running and dance.
We also have a fruit tuck shop which is run by the Year 6 children and allows the children to purchase healthy snacks at playtime.

Our Criw Cymraeg help Mrs Chilcott to encourage lots of Welsh language to be spoken during school time.
Finally, we have our house captains for Ty Coch, Glas and Melyn. We also have playground leaders who create exciting games and activities during our Fitness time.
