AISL Student Government
Elementary Student Council
Looking Back
As its first project last year, the ESC made posters for the Spelling Bee and held a bake sale to raise money. Then, the winter holidays food & goods drive We Care to Share went underway and the community's donations were distributed among our adopted school, the Archbishop Taylor Nursery/Primary School, and two charities of the middle school/high school c/o Mr. Phipps: the Jakande project and KKS Meal Program.
Gift certificates were welcomed by classes Pre-K through 5th grade and the Student Support classes to shop for books for classroom libraries during the PTO Book Fair in February. ESC also donated 750,000 naira from its funds for the Japan Earthquake Relief in March.
Then, the ESC raised more than 5million naira for A Run Towards the Cure, intra-school projects, and various charities in the community. Other events organized by the ESC included the purchase of icy cups for the participants from Kindergarten to Grade 5 in A Leap Towards the Cure, Spirit Week in March, and the end-of-year pool party. Three cheers to another awesome year in the Elementary Student Council!
Looking Ahead
The AISL Elementary Student Council gives students an introduction to the very basic concepts of self- government. We encourage the student's awareness of community, both within the school and in the larger community. The Elementary Student Council works hard, and ESC representatives have a lot of fun working together. Elementary Student Council is a great way for students to improve their leadership and public speaking skills by getting them involved with the community at a very early age.
Each class in Grades 1 through 5 sends two representatives to a lunch-period meeting once a month. These class reps report back to their classmates.
During the school year, 6 students from each class have the opportunity to represent their classmates, two per trimester. These students pass info regarding raising money through walk-a-thons, bake sales, and other activities. The funds are distributed with a minor portion going to a project within the school, and the larger portion to charitable organizations within Lagos.

Middle School Student Senate
Student Senate meets weekly to discuss upcoming events, student concerns, and service projects to promote a positive, proactive community. Officers and scholar representatives are chosen by September of each school year to lead the Middle School at AISL. The Student Senate works hard to involve all students in projects. Students organize, share job responsibilities, and volunteer their time to make both AISL and the Lagos Community a better place.

High School Associated Student Body
The students at AISL are lead by the Associated Student Body (ASB) The principle purpose of this organization is to:
- To unify all student organizations and activities under one contract.
- To promote, in all ways, the best interests of the school and all of its members.
- To encourage student involvement and enthusiasm in all school activities.
- To provide a means by which the principles of democracy and good citizenship may be learned and practiced.
- To help join together the student body and the administration to serve as one voice.
- To help facilitate opportunities for members and students to serve the community through community service.
The ASB is lead by the ASB Executive made up of the ASB President and Treasurer, voted upon by the entire student body, as well as the House Captains and representatives from student organizations throughout the HS.
Houses
Upon entry into the AISL high school students become a member of one of four houses; Jefferson (Green), Lincoln (Purple), Roosevelt (Orange) and Washington (Black) named after the American Presidents whose faces adorn Mt Rushmore. Students will remain in these houses until they exit the school. Each House is unique and has its own boy and girl House Captains, Emblem / crest, Motto, Mascot, Colors, Banner, House T-shirt, War cry
