Student Council and Junior Prefects
A Student Council is formed at the beginning of each academic year. Councillors are nominated and recommended by a panel of teachers based on academic performance, active involvement in school activities, satisfactory disciplinary conduct, behaviour and good personal character. The recommended candidates are then presented to the Principal and/or Deputy Principal who will make the final approval and endorsement.
The students are selected from Year 9 to Yr 11 of a total 38 members. They are sworn-in at a formal investiture ceremony, witnessed by the entire school population (teachers and students) in the second week of January.
THE ROLE OF COUNCILLORS
- To render assistance and support to the school on important school functions (e.g. Parents Meet, Sports Day, Teachers Day, Speech Day etc.)
- To carry out duties in maintaining discipline and order during school hours or any school related activities.
- To organise school events such as Teachers’ Day, Talentine or any other events pertaining to the interests of the students.
NB: All decisions made and activities organised by the councillors are carried out only with the acknowledgement or approval of the Discipline Master and the Principal before executing them. - To become role models to other students in discipline and academic studies.
- They are the voice of the students in the schools.
- In order to provide a more effective leadership role for the Students Council, a ‘Cabinet’ system of student government was introduced in January 1989. The councillors are given specific duties under the following portfolios: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Councillor of Culture & Sport, Councillor of Information, Councillor of Discipline, Councillor of Welfare.
