THE PRESTWICK Academy pupil council met recently to discuss funding bids for this session.

It was agreed by a majority vote that the council would bid this session for strips for interhouse sports competitions, assembly hall decorations and lights for school discos, more display boards for corridors and screens in the foyer and dining hall which would improve communication, celebrate achievements and encourage healthy eating through more use of the dining facilities. The council will present their bids to an approval time next week.

Some members of the pupil council will also visit the feeder primary schools to sit on the approval team for the primary pupil council bids.
