Rejected petition No to longer school days and keep summer holidays.

More details

We as pupils feel that we need to have our summer holidays so that we can rest and recuperate from our academic studies and have the opportunity to use the summer time to take part indulging our hobbies, such as youth projects or travelling so that we get the chance broaden our horizons.

Also we feel their is no value to lengthening the school day as we feel we would be too tired to be able to function out full capacity and will not be able to develop as independent learners if we are solely incarcerated in the school environment.
