Looks very professional. Is the parent Council still on the go since HE threw his rattle out of his pram?

It does look lovely and yes the Parent Council is still on the go :D

Top marks for the website and thanks for pointing it out - my teenage son never tells me anything!

Maybe it is just that HE knows best and the 14 who resigned were a group of parents who thought they could run the school better than the professional appointed to do so. The Parent Council is there to support and not to take over.

Yes a nice website.

Okay I'm probably going to come across as an uncaring monster for this remark and it'll probably turn out that first year students or whatever did it as a learning experience, but as someone who deals with graphical designers, web designers and web programmers on a professional basis. It doesn't look professional it looks passable to okay, I've seen better I've seen worse but It's the sort of design I'd expect to see in the late 90s early 2000s:


They're using Joomla (http://www.joomla.org/) which I think is a bad choice Wordpress (http://wordpress.org/) and Drupal (http://drupal.org/) are far superior if you're going down the Open Source CMS route.
They're using the College085 (http://www.christiantemplatesonline.com/joomla-templates/theme_college085/joomla-college-university.php) template, which actually looks pretty good but via their customisations they're destroyed it.
It doesn't validate (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.wickhighschool.org&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0).

I could say more but I'll stop here before I get lynched by parents for making little Johnny or Susie cry.

Its always great to get feedback. :D

How would you like to offer your services to the school ? The Parent Council are currently looking for new members see the school website. It would be great to see more people with such a positive interest in the school getting on board.

I didn't mean for this to develop into a critique it was a thread to highlight the positive things that are happening within the school to help the children achieve their maximum potential.

This is also a great effort by the children
