The Student Council

Each year, the Student Council is elected to serve a variety of roles within the school community.

The members of our student council:

• Officially represent the student body of BISJ
• Advise the administration on areas of student concern
• Provide a vehicle for student involvement in decision-making, as appropriate 
• Plan events and activities that engage students, staff, parents, and the community 

Each tutor group elects two class representatives (a boy and a girl) to represent them on the council. 

There is also the Student Council Executive Team, which is democratically elected by the students. The Student Council Executive Team consists of eight officers: a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Publicist, and three Class Liaison Representatives.

The class representatives meet regularly with the Student Council Executive Team, and they then feedback news to their tutor group. 

The class representatives have an important role as they disseminate all ideas and opinions recorded from their class discussions to the Student Council Executive Team.

The enthusiasm and effectiveness of the Student Council, as well as the degree of support it receives from the staff and administration, has a tremendous impact on student morale and school spirit.
