The student council encourages participation from an early age; It serves to develop and establish a sense of duty and responsibility and an understanding of democracy.

At the beginning of the academic year, a school president is elected from the 8th grade along with a vice president from the 5th grade. Before the election, candidates campaign for a week. The election highlights the democratic culture of the school.

The student president conveys requests and suggestions from the students to the school administration. This structure represents the student voice, helping to solve problems and fulfill wishes.

A class representative from each grade level is also elected to the student council. These class representatives meet monthly with the student president and vice president to discuss issues and requests.

The aim is to create an established awareness of democracy, develop tolerance and pluralism, and reinforce the culture of election and voting in our students.
