Student Council
The Student Council is a group of elected students from each year level (both the Primary and Secondary Schools) that represents the student body at the AICS.
As representatives, it is our role to address the issues that concern students. The student council is about communicating effectively within and between year levels to make sure that the voice of the students is heard. As a group, we collectively aim to resolve issues with pragmatic solutions in order to make our school a better place.
The Student Council functions in an advisory as well as a policy-making capacity. Suggestions concerning regulations and other appropriate matters may be brought to the notice of Student Council members.
Eco-Team
The AICS participates in the Eco-Schools programme, an international organisation that offers schools the opportunity to measure their ecological footprint and encourages them to improve it. The programme focuses on positive behavioural change among students, staff, and parents while embedding sustainability into the curriculum. The approach is centred on student led change.
The AICS Eco-Team, led by Student Head Daksh Prasad, is a student-led group of more than 40 passionate students working on projects that make our school and community more sustainable. The team meets weekly to plan events, projects, initiatives, clean-ups, raise awareness, and take action on sustainability issues.
