Student Council

About

Students Councils play a vital role in the well-being of our students. Student Councils help to communicate students’ opinions, interests, and concerns. They are the student voice. Student voice provides a vehicle for students to voice their ideas through school council structures, procedures, interactions, and involvements. 

​

Student Council is all-inclusive, sharing leadership and focus on students’ concerns and priorities. With the support of staff and students, Student Council work together to create genuine engagement between themselves and their school communities.  This includes helping to raise funds for school-wide activities, promoting social events, championing community projects and helping people in need.
