During 2005 the pupils devised a questionnaire to be put to all members of staff.
During 'Circle Time' the children thought of lots of questions they would like to ask all the members of staff at St. John's.
That includes everybody!
The School Council reps. will then interview each staff member and record their answers onto a tape recorder.
The answers were collated and the results recorded on the web site by the pupils!
NOW YOU CAN FIND OUT ALL ABOUT THE STAFF AT YOUR SCHOOL!
All the pupils came up with many good suggestions, but the following twelve questions were selected as being representative from everyone.
1] How long have you worked at St. John's?
2] What do you like about working in this School?
3] Why don't you wear school uniform?
4] Why did you want to work at St. John's?
5] Where would you like to go on holiday?
6] What are your hobbies?
7] What type of music do you like?
8] What is your favourite colour?
9] Do you have any pets?
10] What is your favourite food?
11] What do you like to do at the weekends?
12] Have you any children?
