Download as PPTX, PDF1 like485 views
The school holds weekly parliaments where anyone connected to the school can attend and propose ideas, though only teachers and students can vote. The parliament decides how to spend the school budget, whether to hire new teachers, and how to handle bullying cases. The principal thinks the parliament system is successful because the students take their responsibilities seriously and can make good decisions for the school. Students are encouraged to try a wide range of subjects when starting so they can find their interests, and are expected to work on further projects, help with gardening, or do homework when not in class.
