We are busy working towards earning our School Captain status and I hope that your child is sharing some of the ways that we do this with you at home. As a class we have written a list of the qualities that we believe a School Captain should demonstrate and you can see this in the back of your child’s planner. It’s great to see how seriously they are taking their various Year 6 responsibilities already. We hope that you find this letter and pack of information useful.
