GRYPHON STUDENTS INVOLVED IN SHAPING NEW YOUTH COUNCIL IN SHERBORNE

This year students from The Gryphon School proposed the idea of Youth Council for Sherborne, a place where young people can have their voices heard and to help shape the decisions made about the town. Liv B and Bea G presented their proposal to the Health and Wellbeing committee of the town council in November and from there the project has grown. In February consultations about the council began, with representatives from The Gryphon School, Sherborne Abbey Primary, Sherborne Primary, Sherborne Girls, Sherborne School and Sherborne Prep to shape what the council will look like. Working with town clerk Steve Shields and with the full support of the Mayor and Town council we had some fantastic discussions with innovative and creative ideas shared. We are so excited to launch the Youth council and cannot wait to see what opportunities it brings young people in the town.
