Turning Ideas into Action : Student Council Elections 2020
As educators, it is always incumbent upon us to nurture the seeds of leadership and empowerment that have been sowed and ensure that they bloom despite the challenges of the new normal. It was thus decided that we continue with the process of formation of the New Student Council (Phase II- Vice Council Elections).
A platform of the students, for the students and by the students, the Student Council is nothing short of a laboratory of leadership. Built on the premise of empowerment, agency, teamwork, consensus building and self-exploration, it enables the students to come out of their comfort zones and hone their abilities to be future leaders.
Beginning on 8th May 2020, the process included an online orientation of Year 11 students, followed by an application round (with a statement of purpose), clearing up rounds of Group Discussions and Personal Interviews. The candidates are now slated for digital campaigning.
Our Student Leaders - Council Heads and Electoral Literacy Representatives from Grade XII have also conceptualized and built a comprehensive website designated for this purpose, containing all details related to this election and providing a genuine platform for the candidates enabling the larger student community to know their prospective leaders better.
Continuing with the school’s philosophy of life-long learning and standing true to the core value of ‘sense of purpose and responsibility’, our student leaders have set themselves as good role models. Truly exemplifying student-led learning, they have taken up the challenges whole-heartedly, with a positive attitude and an encouraging smile. And in this whole process, they themselves have, unknowingly, started on the path of self-discovery.
