Droitwich's Youth Council has started up again for this year!

It was great to get together again with other schools in Droitwich. Head Boy Harry, Head Girl Sophie, Liliana and Kezia (previous members in their first school) were the representatives from Westacre. 

The meeting agenda can be seen in the photos above, but the main topic of conversation was Edward Winslow Day. This is a new event in Droitwich taking place on the 28th November, which coincides with Thanksgiving Day in America. Winslow, who was born in Droitwich, is known as one of the Pilgram Father's, whose expeditions led him to America. He promoted 'Friendship, thanks, diplomacy and peace.'

The Youth Council discussed how schools can get involved and more information on this is being shared in due course. 

Youth Council Meeting - 21.06.24

Another brilliant Youth Council meeting. This week, the children were giving their speeches to be voted in for Chair, Secretary and treasurer! A HUGE well done to Isabelle who was elected as the Chair for the Droitwich Youth Council. Westacre are incredibly proud of her. She will continue this role as she moves up to the high school. Also a special mention to Kezia, who’s joining us in September, who was elected as the treasurer. 
Also at this meeting, we had our voices heard about the piece of art that will be installed on The Talbot. We can’t wait to see the final result next year.

Laila and Henry were chosen to represent Westacre at the Droitwich Youth Council. It's a group that is relaunching (post pandemic) and everyone is excited to be part of it. Children from many schools across Droitwich were there to give their views on what they would like to happen to improve the area. We're looking forward to meeting again next month, to get the first project underway. Pictured below is Laila and Henry with the special guests: Richard Morris, Sgt Atkinson and the Mayor.
