Board for Change – Spring term update31 March 2025 (by admin) |
A busy term for the Board for Change has seen its members participate in a training day; assisting with school events and continuing to help drive change across the school.
A training day on 19th March included a carousel of workshops, offering valuable learning experiences for the Board's members. The day featured a physical literacy workshop, a bike repair and active travel review session with Christian Jordan from the East Riding Road Safety team, a session on coastal erosion, and a workshop on inclusion facilitated by John Blades, the school’s ERP lead.
Since Christmas, various ambassador groups have been actively involved in school events. The sports ambassadors supported a number of primary school activities, including a swimming gala, sports hall athletics, intra boccia and a tennis tournament.
The careers and active travel ambassadors have continued their ongoing projects. For the careers ambassadors, this included a guest spot at a 'student voice' event where they lent their voices to help shape careers provision at schools across the region. Meanwhile, the active travel ambassadors delivered a pitch at County Hall to secure further funding for their sustainable travel plans.
The Youth Health Champions, in collaboration with Public Health England, met with professionals to represent the student voice for a new mental health website tailored for young people, which will launch soon.
The student council ambassadors have been instrumental in addressing student feedback which has led to several improvements, including increased variety in sports competition entries, such as archery and a swimming gala, and contributions to refining the school’s behaviour and uniform policies.
The Board for Change comprises student representatives from each year group along with ambassadors from sub-groups focusing on Health, Careers, Active Travel, and Sport. Collectively, they play a key role in driving significant initiatives to improve student life at the school.
These students are not only passionate about leading change in the areas they specialise in, they are also role models and a point of contact for fellow students – building an effective communication link between the student body and the staff.
