THE STUDENT COUNCIL

As the facilitator of the student council, it is

my chief hope that the students themselves
become actively aware of the democratic

process and become involved to change their

own lives. Part of being in a Western school is
to be an all round and educated person. The

students of JPGS have their education in

their own hands - they must take this and run
with it. Our Student Council Logo

It was tough week during election season, as many went all out to gain the support

of the students. Several candidates campaigned their hearts out and the school was

covered in posters in order to remind and persuade everyone to vote for said
position. Presidential candidates spent sleepless nights ensuring that their speeches

were written to perfection.

“The most stressful part was waiting for the response of the people I was
campaigning to because it could either turn out really great or quite the

opposite. I really felt the support of my peers on Election Day.”

“Running for the second time round was actually fun because during my

campaign I met a lot of interesting people along the way. Now someone will

come up to me and say ‘hey Mariam what’s up?’ and I will respond realising
that I actually knew the people. I became more familiar with the school,

coming from a person who joined during A-level. Yeah so I am happy. I don’t

regret anything and Im glad I ran twice. How many people can say that they
went up and spoke in front of the school twice? I did that and I’m glad of it!"
