9C HOW ABOUT YOU?

1

You are the editor of the school magazine You think the extra money should be used to pay

for training for the magazine’s photographer and writers, and to buy a good quality camera

Any left over money could go towards paying for a new printer You believe that the school

magazine gives students valuable work experience and deserves fi nancial support.

2

You are the leader of the school drama group You think the money should be used to help fund

a big musical production The money would pay for costumes and building a set You believe that drama is a great way of building students’ confi dence.

3

You love street art You think that your school needs some bright and colourful wall paintings, and that the money should be used for street art workshops led by experts You think that this project would have a positive eff ect on students and it would brighten up the school too.

You think that money should be used to pay for music lessons for every student in the school

At the moment, only some students can aff ord to pay for music lessons, but you believe that they should be available to everyone.

6

You think the money should be used to take students to cultural events Many students have never experienced classical performance arts such as ballet or opera before, and a school trip would open up a new world for them.
