BBIS Student Council

The High School Student Council (HS StuCo) connects the student body to the faculty and acts as the student voice, with the goal of enhancing the learning experience of students at BBIS. The purpose of student council is to serve the student body of BBIS, voice student opinions to the administration, to train students in leadership, and to aid the development of other student organisations such as the Human Rights Club, Student Ambassadors, Gay/Straight Alliance etc. The High School Student Council meets regularly under the guidance of a teacher representative and the school counsellor, who act as advisors. Student Council Class Representatives and the Executive (Student Council President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, PR Officer and Social Events Officer) are democratically elected by the student body. The students and staff of the High School are committed to the principles of student government and acknowledge the value of granting students considerable autonomy in the governance of their affairs as means by which strong character is developed and nurtured. Student governance promotes leadership, self-confidence, and self-reliance. It is a privilege, not a right, and teaches students important lessons regarding the proper balance of freedom, privilege, and responsibility.
