What does it take to lead? Hear from CIS student council executive committee as they share how the council is more than just a leadership group—it's a dynamic team of passionate students, each with unique roles, united by a common goal: to represent and elevate the voice of the CIS student body.

President: Ashlee W.

At the helm of the student council is Ashlee who is responsible for overseeing event planning, team coordination, and delegation of tasks. She ensures every council member knows their responsibilities and works together to achieve the council's goals.

What excites Ashlee most this year is the autonomy to innovate: “I’m looking forward to creating events that differ from what we’ve done before and hopefully offering students something new and exciting.” With a strong focus on creating memorable experiences, Ashlee’s leadership is all about leaving a lasting impact, establishing new traditions and building a stronger sense of unity within the school.

Vice President: Finn M.

Supporting the President and managing the emotional and operational aspects of the council best describes Finn’s role as Vice President. Her role extends beyond logistics to leadership in student well-being. As the head of the Wellbeing Committee, she is focused on cultivating a supportive school environment for all.

Finn is passionate about engaging the entire student body and ensuring that every student feels heard and valued. “I want to see more engagement across the whole school community,” Finn says. Her leadership also involves mentoring younger student council members, helping them grow as exemplary future leaders.

Secretary: Aditya B.

Behind the scenes, Aditya plays a vital role in ensuring the student council runs smoothly—from operational management and maintaining work efficiency to overseeing Treasurer duties. His role ensures that the council’s projects are organised, financially sound, and consistent.

Aditya also leads the Sports Committee, “By making sports accessible and enjoyable for everyone, we help create a lively and energetic culture that brings the Husky spirit to life,” says Aditya.

Through his leadership, Aditya wishes to give back to the community by leading in a way that inspires others. He hopes to encourage people to take action that reflects the school’s values so that everyone can grow and succeed together.

Director of Communications: Georgia C.

Building bridges and keeping everyone connected is essential for the student council’s success, and that’s where Georgia steps in. Her role ensures that the chain of communication is constantly open and flowing between the teachers, the executive team, grade representatives, committee members, and the student body.

“I’m excited to work with students from different grades and backgrounds,” Georgia says. “It’s about bringing everyone together to support the school and the events we plan.” With a focus on inclusivity and transparency, Emily is helping to ensure that every voice is heard.

The Student Council’s collective mission

Though each member of the student council has a unique role, they share a collective mission: to engage with the student body in meaningful ways. This year, the council’s main focus is on creating events and initiatives that bring students together, whether it’s through sports, wellness activities, or school-wide celebrations.

A Message from the Student Council

“Let us know how we can help you.” The team is eager to hear from students, whether it’s about new ideas for events, suggestions for improvement, or simply concerns they want to share. The council’s doors are always open, and they’re ready to listen.
