Insworld Institute Student Council is a student-elected body that aims to represent the views of our students regarding all aspects of the operation of the school. It also organises and manages special events as well as participating actively in school occasions such as Graduation Day and the Cultural Festival.
PURPOSE OF STUDENT COUNCIL
The Student Council is run by students and supervised by academic and administrative staff. The main purpose is to be the voice of the students; to give them a channel which they can use to communicate ideas, suggestions and even criticisms to the school management. The Student Council also runs its own activities and programmes with the supervision and support of the school. It plays a major role in promoting a sense of community and engagement in school. Members of the Student Council develop their leadership skills, as well as promoting diversity, social responsibility and personal integrity. Student Council members bring ideas, suggestions, and feedback to the meetings. These are discussed and considered. If practicable these ideas can then be put to the school management. It is important for everyone at Insworld to feel part of the school community, and to feel that their voice matters. The Student Council has made many suggestions for improvements which the management has been pleased to implement.
