School Captains
What is the best part about Warburton Primary School?
The fact that it’s a small school. You get to know everyone so well, making it a warm and welcoming environment for everyone.
What kinds of things do you do as school captains?
Being leaders of Warburton Primary we represent the school at various events. We are proud to be role models in which people look up to, can trust and come to for help.
What are your goals for Warburton Primary School this year?
To make the school a more enjoyable working environment for the students and teachers alike, and suggesting improvements where possible.
Do you have any specific things they would like to improve?
We would like to improve or add some things in the classrooms such as sensory fidgets or different textured objects that might help students to focus and learn better or calm down after stressful moments. We can also learn more about what students would like to have in the school through the Junior School Council.
