Meeting times are used to organize team-building activities, build a calendar, and work on other student-based initiatives. The Student Council also regularly meets with the Deputy Principal to share concerns and ideas about how to better the school.<\/p>\n
Our Student Council learns the necessary skills and knowledge required to coordinate and exercise effective change in the school. Its members practice working with others and exhibit the positive life habits and IB Learner Profile traits to equip them for real-world success.<\/p>\n
