School Council
In March 2011, we re-launched our School Student Council. There had been changes to tutor groups relating to academic performance and the school wanted to give everyone a chance to be heard.
Elections took place in every classroom and in April the Council was complete.
How To Run for STAC Student Council
So you want to run for student council, but aren't quite sure how to get started? Here are some tips that might help you prepare your 90 second speeches. Stick to these rules as this will be the process in all of the classes.
- Have a good reason for running. Before you run for student council, make sure that you have the correct motives and reasons for it. Some good reasons for running for student council include you would sincerely like to serve your class, you'd like to bring about positive change in your school, you believe you would be able to contribute a lot to the student body with your time and your ideas. Don't run for student council just because you want the attention, or you want to prove yourself to your parents.
- Have a certain policy you want to advocate. Be known for one particular policy that you want to advocate. Make sure that this policy is indeed significant for the student body and will bring about positive change. Also, your advocacy (your change) should indeed be attainable and realistic - you don't want your classmates to think you're just making grand, but empty, promises so you can win the elections.
- Practice good ethics and manners. How you conduct yourself during the tutor time is a reflection of your leadership and morality. Avoid bad-mouthing other candidates. Make sure that during yours and other speeches you are able to maintain an attitude of respect and graciousness to everybody - whether they're on your side of the campaign or not. This will also spare you loads of embarrassment if you don't win.
If you truly want to be elected into the student council, give your campaign 100% of your effort. Good luck!
Aims for Summer 2011
- To make sure all form groups are represented
- To do an off site trip as a Council
