Information on how to nominate as a candidate for the elections of student councillors and faction captains for 2026. The 2026 Councillors will comprise 5 boys and 5 girls (including a head boy and head girl). Our 10 elected councillors will form our Student Council. The 2026 Faction Captains will comprise a male and a female from each faction, making a Faction Captain team of 8 students.
Student Councillors are the most visible student members of the school community. Parents, other students and teachers look to them to represent the school in the best possible way. Councillors are required to follow school rules and procedures readily, as well as display leadership qualities. They will, at times, be given tasks that require some effort and personal commitment.
After discussing this with your parents, if you decide to nominate, please complete the downloadable form below and return it to the front office by Monday, 27th October, at 3:00 pm. Include with the slip an A4 poster of yourself promoting the qualities that would make you an ideal councillor. The slip needs to be glued to the back of your poster and handed to the front office. No late nominations will be accepted.
Along with nominating, students will need to prepare a 1-2 minute speech indicating the impact they will have as a school councillor. We have scheduled the girl candidates to speak on Tuesday, November 4th, and the boy candidates on Thursday, November 6th. Voting will be completed after the speeches on each day, and the Student Councillors and Faction Captains will be announced at our Awards Assembly on Friday, 12th December, in the morning.
