Student Council
Student Council is an excellent way for students — those running as well as those voting — to get an understanding of the democratic process. It provides a channel of student expression through representation. It also encourages courtesy, loyalty and school spirit and promotes a spirit of co-operation.The Student Council consists of the elected executive officers (Head Boy, Secretary, and Treasurer) and elected class representatives.
