The Student Councils
The student council is a group of students who are elected by the student body to serve as the voice of their fellow students in school affairs. Being part of the council gives students the chance to carry out being in service for others and to develop their leadership skills. Some of the specific roles of the student council include creating policies, organizing events and projects that are beneficial to the students, ensuring that student grievances are heard, and most importantly, representing the student population during meetings with the school authorities.
