Welcome New Student Council Members!
Two weeks ago, many students attended an interest meeting to learn a little bit about what we do in Student Council and what is required of a Student Council member.
What is Student Council?
The Student Council of Phoenix
Collegiate Academy is a leadership club whose members, and especially its
officers, exhibit strong, positive role model qualities. These qualities include showing respect to
one’s self and to others, doing one’s best to keep grades up, attending
meetings, and participating in club activities. Realizing that maintaining a
strong, positive leadership role is important to our peers and school, the
following guidelines have been established by the advisor of Student Council.
What does Student Council do?
We SERVE.
We serve our colleagues and classmates by
giving them the opportunity to have their voices heard.
We serve our school by creating and
hosting events that will make our culture stronger.
We serve our community by being role
models and looking for ways to give back.
What are the requirements of being in Student Council?
How do we become a Student Council Member?
Students needed to complete a Petition for Membership that included the following three parts:
 |
| Students must initial and endeavor to follow the Code of Conduct |
 |
| Students must write a short essay explaining why they are the best choice to represent their peers. |
 |
| Finally, students needed at least 20 signatures of peers who felt that they should be included in Student Council. |
Becoming a member was certainly competitive, but we have now selected our 18 members--a group that represents grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 with a representative from each homeroom.
Our first meeting was on September 10, 2015. It was a great time getting to know each other and the myriad strengths we bring to this year's StuCo group!
