Student Council
Your Student Voice Matters — Empower, Express, Inspire, Lead
The Student Council at Diyafah encourages students to take an active leadership role in the school. The students' voice is an important element of all decision-making and does have a concrete effect on school policy and direction.
Initiatives on Social Responsibility/UAE approved Charity Fundraising, school social events, student concerns, and suggested developments are all passed through the Student Council to the School Management.
The Head Boy and Head Girl of Secondary and Primary meet frequently with the Principal/Vice-Principal to ensure that staff are aware of all issues of interest or concern to students.
We take many things into account when choosing our Head Boy and Head Girl:
- Thoughtfulness and care for others
- Reliability
- Trustworthy
- Positive attitude to learning
- Good organisational skills
- Adaptability
- Good attendance
- Knowing the right thing to do and doing it
