Student Leadership

ACS (International)'s current student council is made up of thirteen councilors and they are from years 3, 4 and 5. They get elected to the student council annually through an election. Student councilors from year 5 must step down from the council in year 6 as they are sitting for their external examinations. It organises school activities such as Chinese New Year celebrations, Valentine's Day, Racial Harmony Day, National Day, Parties and graduations together with the school staff. There is a president and a vice president among the thirteen councilors. There are also council delegates from every level and they assist the student council and are part of the student council. The prefectorial board is made up of senior students of the school in which some of them are also serving as student councilors. They are appointed by the principal to serve a one-year term. The prefects take charge of doing morning assemblies, helping out at school functions, open houses as well as other events. Prefects have the rights to give warnings and detentions (after three warnings). Every class can elect up to two monitors which they are leaders and assist the teachers. Also, there are school ambassadors that represent the school at events and help out the school during school functions of which they are appointed by teachers.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or leadership:

    The student may read Homer or Æschylus in the Greek without danger of dissipation or luxuriousness, for it implies that he in some measure emulate their heroes, and consecrate morning hours to their pages.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    During the first World War women in the United States had a chance to try their capacities in wider fields of executive leadership in industry. Must we always wait for war to give us opportunity? And must the pendulum always swing back in the busy world of work and workers during times of peace?
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
