Student Council

It is that time of year again, where students from each class compete with each other to be part of the Student Council team. This week has been filled with enthusiasm, as students from different grades have started campaigning and convincing their fellow classmates to vote for them. Posters have been displayed around school, speeches have been made, as each candidate is eager to win the election. Each class elected two students, one as their class president and the other as their vice president. The Student Council aims to make SEK Qatar a better place, providing a voice for the students of the school. Here is the list of the Student Council of 2017-2018.
