Student Council

The Students Council of Utpal Shanghvi Global School is an integral part of this institution. It is a group of bright, young, enthusiastic students, each of whom is an all-rounder and an achiever in his or her own right. This team of Grade 10 students comprises of the Head Boy and Head Girl who are at the helm, followed by the 4 House Prefects and the 4 Sports Leaders. All the prefects and sports leaders lead their house ably, motivating and encouraging students to participate and do their best in all Inter House competitions.

The four prefects are flanked by Assistant Prefects from Grade 9, who in turn are supported by the Representatives selected from Grades 3 to 9. Each foyer has one Representative per house who maintains discipline along with Class Leaders .Each division from Grades 3 to10 has 4 class leaders one form each of the 4 Houses. These leaders strive to maintain order and ensure students are disciplined and in correct uniform.

They all strongly believe in their house mottos:

• Bluebells- Full effort is full victory
• Daffodils- Do your part
• Roses- Excellence through Endeavour
• Shamrocks- Never give in

The above Council is also helped by Peer Mentors from Grades 8-10 who are trained to take charge of classes and look into day to day issues of those classes.

The Student Council is democratically elected for all posts, right from the Head Boy and Head girl to the Class Leaders. The Class leaders and Representatives are selected by the class teachers, while the Main Council selection is done through an intensive month long exercise.

Students of Grade 10 who believe they have the capability to be potential leaders and whose academic performance in the previous 3 academic years is above 60% can apply. They need to give evidence of the same in the form of mark sheets, certificates and other supporting documents to the teacher in charge of the Student Council.

Following this they need to fill in an application form online after which the nominees will be interviewed by a panel of judges.

3 candidates per post will be shortlisted on the basis of the interview score and scores given by class teachers as well as an advisement teacher. These scores are confidential and teachers also vote online so as to ensure full privacy and fairness.

The selection procedure culminates with the voting which is again a very fair and just system, in which students of Grade 6 to 10 cast their votes online and the results are immediately generated automatically.

Being a Student Council member is a matter of great pride and honor for students and these students get a chance to chair competitions and other events in school, which is a great learning experience and gives them lots of exposure and training for the future.
