Student Council 2008-2009 (1)

In my view, a student council’s role in a school system is to serve the student body, encompassing issues such as welfare and school spirit, through the first-rate organisation of events which encourage them. Further, student councilors are far beyond role models. Effectively, along with certain parties, they make the backbone of the school. Specifically, in ACS (International), the student council goes beyond all means not only to ensure that the student body has a greater sense of school spirit, but also that each individual member of the school – be it teaching-staff, non-teaching staff or student – attains the well-deserved, unique and memorable bliss of school life.

The 4th Student Council sought high and low, beneath each rock, around each corner, to achieve the above description of a truly effective student council. Hosting a myriad of events on a regular basis such as Spring Dance, Prom, Orientation, Casual Dress Day, Teacher’s Day and more, we attempted to strengthen and establish bonds between members of the student population, delighting in the incomparable efforts we put in. I believe I speak for everyone when I say this – we have achieved so much more.

I saw my role as a student councilor as something greater than a leadership position; I saw it as an opportunity to effect change in ACS (International). Indeed, having ended my term, I am proud of the work achieved by the 4th Student Council of ACS (International). We have certainly achieved boundless heights – a benchmark of standards proclaiming the ‘sound of ACS forever’.
