Secondary Student Council is the representation of the student body in Grades 6 - 12. It is composed of 20 dedicated and enthusiastic students. Five of these students are officers in Grades 11 or 12 who are elected by the entire student body in April of each year for the upcoming school year. The other members of Student Council are homeroom representatives elected via in-class elections at the beginning of each school year. Officers include:
The 2011-2012 year looks to be a busy year for Student Council. Student Council reps will work with the Dean of Students to continue to expand the house system. In December, Student Council traditionally taps into the giving spirit of the season by selling and delivering Holiday Candy Grams to benefit its adopted charity, the United Nation's Nothing But Nets Campaign. Last year, a snowman building competition was held, this might happen again this year. After the Christmas holiday break and exam period, Student Council will throw a Carnival celebration complete with candy, Carnival music, costume competitions and great prizes.
In late spring, Student Council will collaborate with the house leaders to run lunchtime competitions and host the annual Spirit Week and End-of-the-Year Barbecue.
Over the past 3 years the Student Council has gathered feedback to improve cafeteria meals, raised awareness of its adopted charity, and improved communication with the rest of the student body through homeroom representatives.
