Student Council Leadership - With a group of students ready for the challenge, the GAA Student Council introduces concepts of responsibility, representation and accountability at an age-appropriate level. Student representatives volunteer for service on a term-by-term basis and is steered by a dedicated group of educator including the Guidance Counselor. This group meets weekly to discuss ways in which the student body can support school initiatives such as fundraising or other special events or other issues raised by the students themselves. Once suggestions or solutions are agreed upon, the Student Council often meets to present their ideas to the Principal to turn ideas into action. GAA’s Student Council is an important part of the school that will grow as we do.
