Student Council

Student Council is a collection of nine students, three from each of the core species, that represent the student body. They hold status and more responsibility than the average student. Student Council members uphold the rules of the institution, give out punishments, maintain general peace, and have access to special resources. Members of the council are generally given favor by administration; although meant to be respected by the populous, many members aren't. The Student Council gathers every month in the conference room for a public meeting where they discuss the results of the last thirty days and general concerns; meetings end with a public forum where any student may voice their opinion. Although they can make school decisions on a small level, the student council typically doesn't vote or discuss possibilities because of their minimal oversight.

If you meet all the requirements and the moderation team approves the possibility of your promotion, you'll move on to the next step: an election. A date will be decided and your running for a student council spot will be announced. During the time period between then and the election you may campaign as you wish. Once the election arrives, you will be announced by a head or faculty and be required to give a speech. When your speech is over, voting will be opened to your species for the next five hours. Candidates are not allowed to vote. If you run unopposed, you will receive your spot on the council no matter what, the voting is just a formality. After voting is closed, the votes will be counted.
The results of the election aren't announced until a later date when the headmistress will officially give the results and either promote or not promote the candidate. During the promotion ceremony, the candidate is required to recite the student council oath, they will then receive their rightful student council pin, afterwards the newly promoted student may say a few words.
