Maple Leaf International School

Student Council

Who We Are

We, the Student Council, are composed of a diverse group of talented students. We range from grade seven to grade twelve. We are a very creative bunch - sometimes the creativity just explodes! Hopefully, the outcomes are enjoyable for the students and good for our school. All viewpoints are respected and every member is treated equitably and is valued for his or her difference. During our elections, the one thing all of us had in common was our ambition to make "08-09" the best it can be for students and staff. We are similar to links in a chain - we are strong together.

What We Do

The student council is a main component of the school Leadership Development Program.

We organize all student events ranging from dress down days to school sports tournaments to the annual Mr. and Miss Maple Leaf Pageant. We co-ordinate important school committees such as, Model U.N., yearbook, fundraising , character education and special events. We meet with school administration to present the student viewpoint on important issues.

Our Arts committee produces and supports cultural initiatives. Our Communications Committee helps the school wake up each morning to student run announcements. They also produce our student newspaper which has undergone a period of absence. We are busy workers who meet frequently to stay ahead of the game.

One of the ways the student council supports the Character Education initiative is by presenting an assembly each month based on the character trait under study. September was responsibility, October was respect and November will be courage - these assemblies are informative and entertaining.

We are always trying to make the student experience at Maple Leaf the best it can be...all ideas are welcomed and valued. Come and join us.
