An elected student officer who receives a second detention within a semester loses her office immediately for the remainder of the year. • Members are expected to support a majority of Student Council-sponsored activities. Without permission from the Council moderator, absence from an activity is unexcused. Attendance at Student Council meetings is required. • All members and officers are expected to exhibit qualities of dedication and leadership and a willingness to participate in all aspects of life at Maryvale. • Students must have participated in at least one co-curricular activity during the year when seeking office, e.g., Student Council, sports, music/drama, publications or class activities. • In the Upper School, only seniors are eligible to be elected to the office of Student Council president.
