Student Council

The PSI Student Councils in Primary, Middle School and High School work with teacher advisors to improve the lives of students in their grade levels. They create activities that encourage school spirit, raise and distribute funds for various charities around Kyiv, and take input from students about ways to make the school a better place.

Primary Student Council

The Primary Student Council is a group of students in Grades 3 - 5 who are elected to represent their class. The group, led by two teacher advisors, learns about leadership and service through actions such as school improvement initiatives, spirit events and service within and outside of PSI.

This year’s Primary Student Council is comprised of two representatives from each class in Grades 3, 4 and 5, in addition to a president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. They began the year by looking at last year’s Student Council projects and deciding whether or not they wished to continue them.

The dedication of the Primary Student Council to serving their school and community is evident. They have learned to cooperate with each other, to give their ideas and feedback, to communicate with students in the Primary and Secondary Schools, as well as becoming more responsible leaders who realise that through their actions, they can make a difference in their school and community.

Middle School Student Council

The goal of the Middle School Student Council (Grades 6 - 8) is to be the voice of the Secondary students, allowing them to have input into different events or parts of school life.

The Middle School Student Council strives to connect the students, the administration and the PTA. They listen to suggestions and ideas from the students and discuss them as a group before trying to act on them or bring them to the attention of the administration.

For the past few years, the Student Council has sought to create different school traditions and continue previous ones to create a sense of school spirit. From small things like Valentine's Day flower sales or Easter egg hunts to bigger events like the Middle School social or High School prom. The Student Council has tried to bring a new sense of excitement and community into school life.

The Student Council also provides opportunities for student representatives to practice leadership, communication and collaboration skills. It gives students the chance to perform a service for our very own PSI community.

The Middle School Student Council is composed of a president, a vice president, a secretary, and 1 - 2 representatives from each of the Grade 6 - 8 homerooms. Students met every week to plan events and to liaise with the High School Students' Council and the administration where necessary.

High School Student Council

The High School Student Council (Grades 9 - 12) is an important organization at PSI. We represent the students’ opinions to mingle and bond with students across grade levels and between Primary and Secondary School.

The Student Council also serves as a connection between students and the school administration, providing input on school plans and feedback on educational and social programmes at PSI. To that end, the Student Council officers have met with administration, the PTA and the Board of Governors.

Each year, the High School Student Council elects new officers who help lead us in fun and community building throughout the year.
