The Student Council election this year was extraordinarily heated. All student council candidates were very competitive, and they spent a lot of time on their election campaigns. One of the winners of this year’s election was Sean Farrallel from Grade 9, running for P.R.O (public relations officer).
Reporter: Why did you want to run for the student council?
Because I want to make the experiences of the school a lot better for everyone. I also think it will be good to have power.
Reporter: If you’re elected, how would you make our school better?
I would do everything within my power because if you’re in the Student Council, you will have a bigger position of power than you will have if you are a normal student. I will be trying to push whatever I was trying to improve about the school on the student council. I will make sure all the words of the students will be heard. I will have some merit in terms of recognition.
Reporter: How does running for Student Council benefit you?
It teaches me skills about leadership and responsibility. I felt like the election has taught me a lot of things about how to lead and manage myself and my team.
Reporter: Give one or two projects you want to accomplish if you’re elected.
First, I think that our school’s Masquerade Night and Spring Fair can be improved by having more activities that students can be engaged with. Second, I think there should be more emphasis on our school’s house system. I think that everyone could agree that the house system doesn’t really get the students (Middle and High School) interested. I will improve it by doing more things involving the houses. As a result, students can be more engaged with it.
Reporter: Running for Student Council is a lot of work, how do you plan to deal with the extra workload and commitments?
I think I have learned some time management skills in the past few years, and I am going to put it to good use.
Reporter: What do you want to say to the people who voted for you?
Thank you very much [for your votes]. I won’t let you down.
