Positive Press
INTRODUCTION
The Positive Press group work to raise awareness of the work and progress of the school at both a local and wider level. They support the school to:
· Produce an annual school magazine, ‘The Eye of the Owl’ sharing the life and work of the school with families and the wider community.
· Contribute regularly to the ‘Kelso Life’ magazine with articles, reports and information about the school.
· Support the Senior Leadership Team to share the good news of the school with the wider community, Scottish Borders Council and local/national press. This might include establishing links with local press and media and inviting them to report on events and achievements taking place within the school
· Work with our social media platforms to share information and stories about the school.
The positive press group helps children:
· Develop literacy skills, particularly journalistic skills of reporting.
· Gain confidence in skills such as interviewing, being interviewed, formal meetings, independent working and taking responsibility.
· Understand the process of bringing their ideas to print.
Pupils from P5 to P7 form the Positive Press Team under the direction of Mr Lindsay (HT). They will report on the activities and learning of the whole school from ELC to P7.
Eco-Team
INTRODUCTION
Members of the Eco-Team may choose to help our school to:
· Improve the school's environment
· Reduce litter and waste
· Reduce energy and water use
· Devise efficient ways of travelling to and from school
· Promote healthy lifestyles
· Encourage active citizenship
· Build partnerships with community groups
· Develop international and global links
Our Eco-Team will look carefully at environmental issues that affect children not only on a global and national scale, but here within Broomlands as well. The Eco-team gives them the chance to respond to the issues that affect them now, and may affect them in the future. The group will plan its activities and actions based on the environmental concerns that the children are most passionate about and interested in.
The aim of our group will be to make environmental awareness and action central to the life and ethos of the school for both pupils and for staff, and to engage the wider community. This year they will focus on developing a Sensory garden within our school grounds, with the kind support of a business partner.
Pupils from P5 to P7 form the Eco-Team under the direction of Miss Scott (PT). They will represent ideas and views from the wider pupil body, from P1 to P7.

Our Junior Road Safety Officers are appointed to work with the local authority and the school to ensure our routes to and from school are safe, and that children regularly have the chance to learn about wider road safety issues.
