We started a "safer routes to school" campaign. We had a conference with some members of our borughs council, and they gave us £10,000 to invest in improving the area around the school (its right in the middle of these woods, with no lighting- lots of attacks). We changed the school timings, like you wanted to, so that we had a shorter lunch, but went home earlier. We also "did a Jamie" and compeltly revamped our canteen. We got rid of all the junk, and showed the canteen staff how we wanted it to be. We changed the queuing system, and improved the prices. You gotta remember, we did all this. 10 school kids. 10 15 year olds. We had no help, nor support, from our teachers, govenors or parents. We were against everyone, yet we managed to change it. No one else has managed to do anything close to the amount of stuff we did in our school, and i doubt our school will get anyone else like us again to be honest. We made the differences, and they worked. In the end, the Head Teacher congratulated us on making such a huge difference to the school, when even he doubted us.Quote:

Thanks JMR. I was the one who had to write ht minutes too :rotfl: It took ages!
My school has stupid times, but its better then what it was. We're going to try and get it more consistant next year, but the upper school always finshes later on Monday and Tuesdays anyway, which makes it worse. For me my school times are;
Monday: 8.40- 3.35 (because of extra lessons for upper school, it's 3.00 for lower school)
Tuesday: 9.00-3.35(because of extra lessons for upper school, its 3.00 for lower school), (late start because of staff meeting)
Wednesday: 8.40-3.00#
Thursday: 8.45-3.35 (because of PSHE and Citizenship)
Friday: 8.45- 3.00
Its still really dumb as you can tell, my mum gets so confused! We changed it so that the lower school (years 7-9) finish at 3.00 everyday apart from Thursday, and start at 8.40 everyday but Tuesday. It makes it eaier for them, especially the newbies in year 7. By the upper school you get used to the dumb rules and times the school has!
I said that we changed it so we finish earlier, because of having a shorter lunch. We did finsh at 3.40 everyday, and laer on a tuesday and monday, but we hated that in winter. it was sooo dark went we left in winter time, and i live 3 miles from school (and i walk)
Poor you walking! Do you do citizenship then? DO you like it? I'm starting it this year

It is the most pointless subject i've ever had to do in my whole educational life i swear!
Yet another government inititive which hasn't and will never work.
Still, its good for a gossip with your mates
I think I know what it is!!Quote:
