  • Involve students in democratic processes and decisions making within the school;
  • Demonstrate the importance of representation and active involvement in the school community;
  • Democratically elect student representatives;
  • Develop student leadership and communication skills;
  • Give a forum for the presentation of student ideas and opinions on school policies that directly impact students;
  • Improve the school community by addressing student issues and concerns.
