Each class then **exercised their right to vote** by selecting two class representatives. The two children with the most votes become our school council members. As a council, the children are learning how to hold council meetings and share ideas whilst **respecting the opinions and beliefs of others**. As the children develop these skills, they will begin to take minutes and plan the implementation of their ideas. Our school council members will always be available for children to **voice their opinions** and share their ideas so that we can all work together to ensure that Brookside continues to be a wonderful place for everyone. ### Related News ![Image of And the Winner is...](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x440c/news/And_the_Winner_is.jpg) 14 Feb [2020-02-14-and-the-winner-is](https://www.brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news/2020-02-14-and-the-winner-is) #### [And the Winner is...](https://www.brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news/2020-02-14-and-the-winner-is) [View All News](https://www.brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news/tag/school-council) ### Related Blog Posts [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/1440x880c/blog/brookside__primary_school_banner.jpg)](https://www.brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2023-01-10-06-28-50-parent-parking-charter) 10 Jan #### [Parent Parking Charter ](https://www.brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2023-01-10-06-28-50-parent-parking-charter) This morning, Gill from CWAC Road Safety Team will be in school to help promote our Parent Parking Charter.
