School Council
We are on the School Council and we would like to talk to other children about how to improve our school.
We would like to find out how the children at Our Lady Of Grace feel about our School. We listen to your ideas about what makes the perfect school and write them down. We take them to Miss Corbett and see how we can start to make our School a great place to be.
