This year the Senior Student Council (SSC) will consist of 14 members and a member of our faculty, a wonderful teacher faculty advisor Ms. Sara to help coordinate.
A new position of fundraiser coordinator has been added this year. The money we raise from fundraisers gets reinvested into the activities we do. We are going to have a Mufti day every term in order to raise some money and to give students a chance to wear clothes that they would never be able to wear in school otherwise.
This school year we areproud to announce the formation of the Junior Student Council (JSC). This council is made up of 14 members, one from Year 4 and two students from each of Years 5, 6 and 7 as well as their supervising teacher. The Primary Council meets once a week so that the specific needs of primary students can be heard. They also have begun to organize their own events, such as Primary Movie Night. Although they meet separately, the Junior and Senior Student Councils are a single unit of 28 members and each group reports regularly to the other.
