The student council will act as the voice of the student body. The council will advocate student ideas, interests and concerns with the school wide community while reflecting the HCOS learner profile of a reflective and adaptable thinker who is inquisitive, discerning and full of wonder at God’s world. And an advocate who is responsive to the needs of others, servicing in order to have an impact on a world in need of redemption.
