Meet the YCIS Student Council Representatives

Written by: Mr. Ryan Kravalis, Year 4 Teacher / Year Leader

2-student-councilFacilitating leadership skills is an important aspect of the YCIS Philosophy and Objectives. We recently held elections and Student Council representatives have been selected in each class by their peers. Over the course of the year, the Student Council will meet to suggest and discuss improvements and develop initiatives for the school. Part of their responsibilities includes passing information back and forth between teachers and students. Past projects have included initiating a Spirit Day and suggestion boxes in classrooms.

Let’s meet this year’s Primary Student Council Representatives:
