Student Council is a group of students who want to help their community. They help the school community, the neighbourhood community, and the world community. Student Council members are leaders in these communities. Students meet to create ideas and plan for fundraising activities as well as activities that promote school spirit. 

What the Student Council will do:

  • Meet on a regular basis
  • Learn about decision-making, how to hold meetings, understand different roles of officers, communication skills, minutes, agenda.
  • Liaise with their classmates – get feedback about the school to bring back to Management
  • Meet with the Principal to discuss matters that are important to the student body
  • Organise activities and events for the school
  • Have input into decisions made – e.g. fundraising, Health and Safety Statement, classroom resources.
