How does it Support the 4 Pillars of Democracy?
Equity
Everyone is entitled to an education. An education gives everyone the opportunity to the same foundation of knowledge which supports equality of opportunity. This is regardless of your gender, choice of religion, political beliefs, physical ability, skin colour and any other characteristic that defines you as a individual either by choice or circumstance.
Freedom
You have freedom to choose options that suit your need. You have the freedom to express your opinion in a respectful manner. Everyone has the right to practice their religion and gets to have a say in what happens at the school.
Justice
They teach you why rules are required, what behaviors are meant to be addressed by rules and the benefits of following rules (order and equity) and the consequences of not following rules (chaos and despair) by both the individual and the collective.
You will learn that your choices are your responsibility and you will receive the benefits and consequences of your actions.
Justice is not arbitrary, it is designed so all are treated the same.
Representation
Students can join the Student Council and vote and debate on behalf of their peers. You can also vote on who you think should be on student council.
By voting you make a choice, by running for council you represent the choices of those who elected you on those matter you have control over.
