SPOTLIGHT NEW PRIMARY STUDENT COUNCIL We are proud to introduce you to our Primary Student Council: Emma R. - Year 3A Stefan O. - Year 3B Annie S. - Year 4A Olga S. - Year 4B Victor C. - Year 5A Matei O. - Year 5B Maia N. - Year 6. After a presentation on leadership and the role of the student council, students from years 3-6 were invited to apply to become a class representative on our council. On their application, students had to share the ideas they had for VIS, and express what made them a great leader. After reviewing all applications with the help of our faculty, one student was selected from each class. Student Council provides an opportunity for students to engage in a structured partnership with teachers, parents and school leaders in the operation of their school. 12  |   VERITA INSIGHTS Students have a voice at Verita International School and a valuable contribution to make to the effectiveness of our school and their involvement in the operation of the school. It is equally important that they are listened to and encouraged to take an active part in promoting the aims and objectives of the school. The main role of the student council is "to make Verita International School even more awesome.” Our Student Council will identify activities that it would like to be involved in organising, to make VIS an even more amazing place to learn. It enables students to take responsibility for projects and to demonstrate that they can manage and bring such projects to a successful conclusion. Congratulations student representatives!
