Full Council 2

What’s a great way to hear student voice and get the opinions of students across campus?  Have another Full Council meeting of course! On April 13th, Homeroom Representatives and Student Council members gathered in the Student Council Room to discuss issues at Highlands.  It was great to have VP Mr. Tanouye there to hear first hand these concerns! Homeroom Reps had already gotten input from their Homerooms on problems in the school earlier in the week. They were separated into three categories: student, team, and school concerns.  The representatives from each team grouped up and chose the top three concerns for each type. After that each team shared their main ideas with the rest of the Full Council. Some recurring complaints included cleaner bathrooms, less bullying, more air conditioning, and less homework.  This information will later be taken to school administrators to make Highlands a better place!

Full Council 1

Full council was a blast! On September 19, 2016, we had a full council meeting. Here, the student representatives took student, team, and school concerns. Now was their time to have their concerns noticed by the Student Government! The representatives got into their respected teams and shared their own classes concerns. Then they had 10 minutes to write down everything on a poster paper so they could present. When they all presented, we noticed a pattern. Everyone wants more AC, more field trips, more time to get to class and things of the sorts.Team Hui Manao even said that teachers don’t get paid enough -- good thinking, Hui Manao! I’m sure all of the teachers at our school really appreciated that! :)  Afterwards, the Student Government will make a meeting with our principal, Ms.Martinson , and take these concerns with us to go see what can be done about them. We can’t wait to see what gets done about these issues! Change is amidst...change is upon us soon!  -Sophia, Student Government President
