We are Year 7 Council members and although we have only been at Copley High for a few months, we have lots to tell you about how much we have enjoyed it and what you have to look forward to.  Most of us were nervous at the thought of coming to a much bigger school but Prefects (these are the ones wearing the black jumpers) were with us in our form rooms and they helped us find our way around.  After a week we knew the school really well.  It was great having a Breakfast Club and lockers to keep your things safe in, lessons were interesting and homework wasn't as frightening as we thought it would be! There is a homework help club and work rooms you can use at dinner times, as well as the LRC.

We've taken part in lots of activities since starting in our first year. In October, the school has the cross-country fundraising run. Each year, a theme is chosen by the school council members and this years theme is 'Charity begins at Home' - each form group in the school will nominate a charity to send their money raised to. Last year, in conjunction with Key 103 Radio Station the school raised over £2500 for the charity 'Cash for Kids' which supports children in Manchester - as well as money for our school.

It will be our very first 'Cross Country' Run and we are looking forward to dressing up and raising lots of money for the charity too!

As Council representatives we will be helping at events like Parents Evenings; helping Year 6 pupils when they come to see the 'Moving Up' performance by GW Theatre and you may see us on the Open evening. Last years Year 7 (now Year 8) went on some trips out to the Film Works, Bowling and Alton Towers. We also have Star Assemblies where we are rewarded for good behaviour with a special fun assembly every half term.

There are plenty of things to do at dinner times - the canteen serves good, healthy food and chips on Fridays!
There are work and social rooms to sit in, we can play all sorts of sports on the astro-turf or use the trampoline, table tennis, swimming etc. in the Recreation Centre or join the choir or practice dance.
