Our students’ council plays a vital role at LDCSS. It provides leadership to our student body in integrating faith and living at school, and it helps to make our school a great place to be a student.
Students’ council serves as a voice for our student body. It also organizes and helps fund a number of social and recreational events (such as Welcome Day, Spring Banquet, end of year social activity).
Our students’ council executive (female and male co-presidents, social convener, secretary and treasurer) is elected by the student body in May of the preceding school year. Homeroom class representatives are chosen by their classmates at the beginning of each semester. Two staff members serve as advisors to students’ council and as a liaison with staff.
At the beginning of each school year, all students are required to pay a student activity fee to students’ council. These fees and other revenues raised by students’ council are intended to be used for activities and projects involving students. These include sports, social and recreational activities, guest speakers for assemblies, the subsidization of various student committees and clubs, and donations made on behalf of our student body. Students’ council is responsible for disbursing all funds that it receives in the best interests of our student body and school community.
