The Student council is a year long commitment. In my first year of IB1, I volunteered to act as the class representative on the student council. It is not as exciting as in the movies where the student council holds power over the school board, but we are not completely useless. "In KISU, the student council is better known for throwing mediocre parties than in lending a hand to change the vomit looking uniform." Words of a classmate. So since my seat on the student council was extended to 6 more months, I helped in the organisation of the annual Halloween party. These were the targeted learning outcomes:
- Plan and Initiate activities. Everyone knows that Rome was not built in a day and neither are parties, even school parties if your wandering. First we had to find the decoration. Finding any kinds of theme parties in a country has always been a challenge. That took a whole week. Selling the tickets was another problem. Most teenagers find that it is not cool to attend school parties, so making them buy the tickets was a bit of hustle. Most of them bought the tickets but did not show up.
- Consider the ethical implications of your activities. One of the many duties I had the night of the party was selecting the music. KISU is an international school of different cultures and ethics. So while choosing the music, I had to make sure that no culture was insulted.
