Student Council at Meru International School
At Meru, student involvement is central to the school's operations. The Student Council plays a vital role in ensuring that processes are shaped by the needs and voices of the students. The council is divided into Junior and Senior Councils, which allows for a structured approach to leadership and ensures that students from all grades have a platform to lead and contribute. Junior Council members begin to develop their leadership skills early on, taking on responsibilities that prepare them for future roles. Senior Council members, having gained valuable experience, take on more significant leadership duties, guiding and mentoring their peers.
The council members engage with the student body regularly to understand the challenges they face and work actively to provide effective solutions. With an open-minded approach, they listen, suggest, and implement changes that contribute to a positive school environment. In addition to their role in addressing student concerns, the Student Council also provides valuable feedback to the school management regarding the effectiveness of various school policies.
Houses at Meru
Our students are divided into four dynamic Houses: Gagan, Prithvi, Tejas, and Vayu. Each House is guided by a House Master, Deputy House Master, and a team of teachers who work together to ensure the House runs smoothly and provides a supportive environment for all its members.
Throughout the academic year, a range of inter-house competitions are organized, including quizzes, drawing contests, poem recitation, essay writing, and debates. These competitions are designed to foster a sense of healthy competition, teamwork, and unity, while providing students with a platform to showcase and develop their talents in various fields.
The House system not only promotes a competitive spirit but also helps build strong bonds among students across different grades, encouraging collaboration and a sense of belonging.
Self-Governance at Meru
At Meru, we believe in empowering students to take ownership of their school experience. Self-governance is encouraged through various student-led initiatives and responsibilities. The Student Council, along with other student groups, actively participates in decision-making processes related to school activities and policies. This allows students to practice leadership, responsibility, and accountability, preparing them for future challenges in both academics and life.
