Student council elections is in the air at PGHC once again! and we are so excited to share all our experiences with you here at The Parvati Post as we undergo such an integral part of our school experience. However, before we introduce our teams, let us give you a brief rundown on what student council is and how it is run.
What is a student council?
A student council is a group of student leaders who elected by their peers to represent the entire student body. They address concerns expressed by the student body and bring it to the attention to the teachers, deans, principal and other staff members that should be informed. Student council will also host different activities for the student body for everyone to enjoy.
Why is good to have a student council?
Students who find it difficult or challenging to talk directly to a teacher can go to their student council and address the situation to them. This message will then be carried and shared with the teacher(s) involved. This is a way in which students can comfortably communicate with teachers one nerving questions.
