This week was a very exciting time for Cullybackey College as our Student Council elections took place. On Tuesday our amazing 6th Form Student Council Leadership Team went around each class and delivered a presentation on the role of the Student Council and the importance of the election process. The students were clearly enthused by these presentations as we had a huge 124 students who put their name forward for the election process.
The polls opened on Wednesday at 9 am and the votes started coming in. Students were able to vote electronically by logging into their year group poll via Google Classroom and casting their vote for the student of their choice. The two students with the most votes in each year group were then deemed elected to the Student Council. By the time polls closed on Thursday at 3.25 pm an amazing 394 students had voted.
Below is the list of students who were elected to represent their year group on the Student Council:
Year 8
Zack White 8A1 17 votes
Cameron Devlin 8A4 12 votes
Year 9
Lewis McDonald 9A2 21 votes

Well done to all those who put their names forward, to those who were elected and to the 6th Form Student Council Leadership Team who helped ensure that the election process ran smoothly.
The 2020/21 Cullybackey College Student Council will meet for the first time next week to discuss the exciting new projects that students want us to work on.
