Democracy Awareness & Student Body Elections - Holistic Child Development @ Silver Oaks
Within the history of Silver Oaks, our 2014-15 student council (and family members) participated in the World Literacy Day Social Action Project where all Silver Oaks Campuses were named after literary legends from around the world! The goal, of the annual election event at Silver Oaks, is to raise awareness of the lessons and practices of democracy and consider decision-making from the earliest possible stages in our children’s lives for them to grow up as responsible and aware citizens. The roles of the student council members range from assistance in activities such as themed events at school, student week, PTC, study tours, annual days, etc. In some cases, the student council members are given the liberty of proposing a few activities of their own.
All school campuses, that have students in Grade 5 (age 10) or above, elected “Campus Head Boy” & Campus Head Girl” through voting by students of Grade 1 (age 6) and above. For the 2023-24 elections, the school management invited self-nominations — accompanied by teacher references on academic performance (responsibility) and ability to lead by example through role model behavior (model citizenship). Worthy candidates were asked to prepare representative speeches, which they delivered on the day of the election (Sep 1, 2023). In addition, all students were given awareness of “democracy”. With this knowledge, each student casts two votes – one each for HB & HG. Following the announcement of winners, the oath-taking ceremony took place in the Faraz Campus on September 8, 2023. Parents of the elected council members witnessed the ceremony where Head HCD, Ma’am Feroza Shoukat took the oath, and principals /campus heads handed over sashes and armbands to the elected HB & HG. We wish our newly elected council the best of luck in upholding their oath through the year, and through life.
