Student Council

Bringing out our inner voices

In line with our commitment to nurturing leadership skills and empowering young leaders, we proudly introduced the Student Council (SC) to bring out the inner magic in our students. This initiative serves as a platform for our students to discover, build on, and amplify their voices and talents, making a meaningful impact within our school community.

Aligned with the principles of the Children’s Rights Convention, our student leaders—elected representatives from Group 2 to 8—are chosen annually by their peers, ensuring democratic and inclusive representation of our entire student body.

A dedicated team of teachers collaborates with our student leaders to provide guidance, mentorship, and support. Together, they foster an environment where leadership skills can flourish, and every child is encouraged to share their ideas and perspectives.

What keeps SC busy?

The Student Council meets once a month to discuss ideas and initiatives aimed at improving the learning environment. SC members actively encourage all students to share their ideas and suggestions, fostering a culture where everyone feels empowered to contribute.

Some recent achievements include:

• New school playground: The SC played an important role in the realisation of our new school playground, working closely with the local municipality to explore and finalise possibilities.
• International Day: The SC is part of the Welcoming Team and actively helps organise our annual International Day, a celebration of diversity and community.
• Library expansion & buddy reading: The SC proposed expanding library resources and initiated buddy reading sessions between students across various groups, creating a stronger reading culture.

To ensure transparency, the SC provides regular updates through our OIS News, creating a strong connection between the student body and the broader school community.

A platform for all voices

The SC not only seeks new ideas and initiatives but also encourages students across all groups to approach them with their suggestions. By actively participating in shaping their educational environment, our students learn to stand up for themselves, collaborate with others, and share their voices confidently.

At OIS, we believe that every child has a unique magic and a set of talents within them. Through the Student Council, we aim to bring out that magic—helping our young leaders discover, build on their talents, amplify their voices, and make a difference.
