In the first Unit of Inquiry this school year, the grade 5 students learned about decision making and government. As part of this unit, they wrote campaign speeches to share their ideas for how we could make our school even better and why they felt they would be a good Student Council candidate. Now the PYP Student Council has been chosen! We are so excited to see what will be accomplished this year!
By Charlene Anom, grade 5 classroom teacher and the student council of International School Utrecht
When students were chosen for Student Council, it was because the other students agreed that they have leadership skills and good ideas for our school. There were candidates that were close to getting the number of votes and we are sure that they can support the student council with putting the plans in place.
We have seen this year’s student council group already taking amazing initiative. With the festive season upon us, the student council members wanted to collect food for the food bank. We hope that the International School Utrecht Community will rally together to make it a successful food drive.
Let us introduce you to the 2022-2023 Student Council members:
