Our Science Council are showing off their green fingers.
During May young people can expect the usual variety of podcasts, live forums and discussion boards which of course includes a themed session on Mental Health Awareness Week which ties in with this year’s theme loneliness. Other key topics to watch out for include – body image, meditation, and foster carers.
There are loads of groups where young people can meet and do fun activities all over South Tyneside. All sessions are open access for all young people aged 8-16 to attend (with the exception of FAB Youth Project and Project groups- which are referral only)

As a school council, we were delighted to be able to meet up again in the second half of the Spring Term. We decided to try and cheer up the local community by putting positive messages on our school fence for members of the community to read. We have found and formatted them, we just need to laminate them to protect them against the weather. We will do this in our next meeting so keep your eyes peeled for our messages of positivity!
We have also discussed the terrible situation in Ukraine and that we would like to help. We are hoping to have a non-uniform day in the near future to raise money for this cause. Joe suggested that the children try to wear blue and yellow – the colours of the Ukrainian flag – and we all loved that idea.
Next term, we are going focus on our role as global citizens within the global community. We are looking forward to thinking about how we, as members of BHJS, can contribute meaningfully to a global cause.
We would also like to welcome Rubie to our team. She is replacing Bobby who left our school this term.
Science Council met at Temple Park near Whiteleas Way with Durham Wildlife Trust where we planted over 500 trees on Thursday morning. These trees will hopefully grow into a large wooded area that will benefit our local community in the future. We did this to support the planet, help provide habitats for species and also gain from the oxygen the trees help put back into the air. We worked tirelessly: it was challenging and required a lot of physical effort. The feeling of success afterwards was rewarding and seeing our amazing Science Council work together was incredible.
Well done Science Council.
