SCHOOL COUNCIL

2023-24

Student Councils are powerful leadership and learning opportunities. A council serves as the voice for an entire student body and actively works with teachers and advisors to promote a better learning environment.

At CFDAV, the School Council is duly elected by the students of Classes VI to X through an Election, held by observing all the essential protocols of nomination, campaigning and voting.

Throughout the session, these office bearers are responsible for maintaining discipline, dispersal, managing events and representing the students. They are guided by their House Incharges and House Teachers. The Head Boy and the Head Girl are the official school representatives.
