Our School Council promotes citizenship
Citizenship is important because we are
learning to be responsible and also to respect
others. I am in the school council because I
help to improve the school by taking notice of
people's views and explaining them in Council
meeting.

Our School Council promotes citizenship
There are children from other countries at our
school so it is really important that we respect
others and their culture. I think it good being
a school councillor because together we can help
the school.

The assistant digital video producer
My assistant is the most reliable assistant I
have worked with. She understands all the issues
of film production as well as team building.
All the equipment we need is set out and tested
before the session. She has the team working
before I arrive according to the work schedule
that she has devised. She is ten years old. I
feel really humble. I am learning so
