MISS JOCELINE JOSHY
(HEAD GIRL)

I believe that leadership is not about position or title but
about action and example. I understand that this phase
may seem tiring and monotonous to some but we, as a

Council hopes to work together as a single unit to
make this bit of our students’ lives cherish able. As the

head girl, I will strive to continue to make
improvements to our school and will do the best in my
ability to make schooling and education better for all
of us.

The annual student council elections were a great success and the act of
participating in the elections itself was a just as important, if not the most
crucial part because hundreds of students came together to make a collective
decision that would affect their school lives for the next academic year.
Elections help us participate in civic culture. Civic culture includes any
activity that goes on in the place where you live that affects how you live.
Whether you are skeptical of the civics around you and seek to change them,
or you value the civics around you and want to encourage them, the
institutions that make up your community are a part of your civics.
Elections are the key mechanism we have to express ourselves. Even if those
feelings are misguided, based on falsehoods, fickle, or fleeting, the
opportunity to be counted is strongly valued. Elections aren’t perfect but
have great value anyway. Like democracy itself, elections are a terrible
mechanism that cannot ever hope to achieve its promise. But as Winston
Churchill said, the alternatives are all worse. Elections are valuable and
important.
