This year some of our School council members met with the Milstead parish council to talk about Highsted Park Sittingbourne. They wanted to know more and had lots of concerns about the impact that this will have on the roads, wildlife and countryside! They wanted to know where is impacted and what this means for them. It was wonderful chatting to Lena about when she was also a little girl at Milstead school and to hear about her parents who were also pupils at Milstead.
The children have lots of exciting plans ahead and even asked Lena if we could have one of the signs for our school. It is so wonderful to see our school council so impassioned by a local cause!
One pupil commented, "They are concreting over our happiness."
Our school council continue to be impassioned about the Highsted Park development. They presented a balanced argument about the proposed development to the whole school following their time with the Parish Council.
We have some budding MPs in the making!
Watch this space!
We look forward to our meeting with School council members from across the trust on Friday 27th June to discuss what our role could be and what voice we could have as a community.
