Empowering Future Leaders: Student Council Elections

In the bustling corridors of Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi's Primary School, something extraordinary happened. Our incredible prospective Student Councilors campaigned diligently throughout the first weeks of this term for the coveted role of representing their peers. Leaflets were distributed, badges adorned proudly, and impassioned speeches echoed through classrooms.

On Friday, our Junior School students filled the theatre with anticipation and purpose. They cast their final votes, making their voices heard in the democratic process. We owe a heartfelt thank you to the remarkable Year 6 students and our Deputy Head of Primary, Ms Ennis, for their unwavering commitment to a fair and transparent election process and for overseeing the counting of the votes.

Without further ado, let's introduce you to the newly elected Student Councilors for the Academic Year 2023-24, who will lead the way in championing the voices of their fellow students:
