SASC activities and events
International Women's Day
Our new Head Students, Equality Reps, Prefect Reece Chipol and Maths and Science Rep Aicha Parody have already had a fruitful and successful round table discussion at Deloitte discussing the following topic: “Inspire Inclusion - When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world and when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment”. They have been inspired by this discussion and are keen to bring many of the ideas discussed to Westside in a way that will improve inclusion in our school community. We are meeting with them next week to hear their proposals.
Net Zero
Our Environment Reps will be attending the Net Zero meeting as Environment Ambassadors for the school next Tuesday . Last year the Deputy Chief Minister set up a working party with young people to tackle environmental issues such as sustainability and climate change. Our Sienna Sene and Beatriz Fraga-Smith will be attending with Mr Ballester and leading on ideas for improving our current approach to sustainability.
Please reach out to reps for your subjects and involve them as much as possible in any initiatives that you may want to run.
New roles!
You will also see that we have a couple of new roles - Wellbeing Reps and Games and Clubs Reps. We believe that these two areas are key in building Westside's community spirit. Please approach these reps if you have any ideas that they can help develop or help you run!
