AISL Student Government

Student Council (Elementary)

The AISL Elementary Student Council gives students an introduction to the very basic concepts of self- government. We encourage the students’ awareness of community, both within the school and in the larger community. The Student Council works hard, and SC 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 first through fifth grade class sends two representatives to a lunch-period meeting as needed. These class reps report back to their classmates. During the school year, six students from each class have the opportunity to represent their fellow classmates. These students raise money through walkathon, bake sales, and other activities. The funds are distributed with a minor portion going to a project within the school, and the larger portion going to projects within Lagos.

Student Council worked with the PTO’s Book Fair Committee for its first project for school year 2006-07.  Each class received 10,000 naira to buy books for the class library.  Other intra-school donations were with the Spelling Bee Committee and Grades 3-6’s CAMP Learned-a-Lot.

The AISL student body and community raised naira thru a fund-raising event “Have a Heart” to donate to various AISL school projects and charities within Lagos.  Donations were made to Child Life-line, the institution voted on by the elementary classes and The Seed School, already a recipient of various Student Council help in the past.

Student Senate (Junior High)

Student Senate meets weekly to discuss dance themes, charity fund raisers, and service projects to promote a positive, proactive community. Officers and representatives are chosen in September of each school year to lead the Jr. High at AIS. Students share job responsibilities for dances: phoning for food donations, asking for parent chaperones, coordinating ice from Chevron, designing backdrops for photographs, and volunteering their time after school to set up for each dance.
