As of September 27, 2021, Far Eastern Private School inducted this year’s Supreme Student Government.
After the election early this September, FEPS welcomes the new SSG officers for the school year 2021-2022. The elections are an important time as the school needs students that will lead to a brighter academic future. Those who will represent the school as leaders, bringing light to the issues and problems both the students and school go through. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the students managed to elect 15 new innovative officers for the FEPS Student Council.
Campaigns took place in online and face-to-face since FEPS offers distance and hybrid learning programs. The Miting De Avance was conducted via Zoom, with the aspiring officers stating their speeches and platforms. The election was led by Ms. Catherine B. Sabino and Sir Abdul B. Macalilay. Establishing 3 parties, the Committed Leaders Igniting Connections as Kindred Spirits (C.L.I.C.K) Party, Able, Zestful, Trustworthy, Educated, Capable, Heroes (AZTECH) Party, and CONNECTION Party.
The election and voting were done through Google Forms – F2F students voted in the Computer Lab while DL students voted in the comfort of their own homes. September 27 , 2021 was the official announcement and induction of officers. The newly elected committee had their oath-taking that same day hosted by none other than the academic head, Ms. Mary Jane P. Onato. Like the Miting De Avance, the induction was held both in F2F and in online as not everyone was enrolled in the F2F or Hybrid mode of learning.
Here are some of the notable platforms that the Student Council plans to implement or bring back: Broadcasting team, Story writing constents, Film making contests, Face painting/make-up contests, Healthy food art contests, Unity scrapbook art, Fepsians got talent, Open reading, Online tutoring for elementary students, and Interactive monthly seminars.
Confirmed by the Vice President, Jessamyn M. Guinanao, a few of the platforms have yet to be accomplished and/or will be moved to other events and dates. Students cannot wait for the official implementation of these activities and they are hoping to experience the blooming of creativity as said in their platforms.
