Byng Arts Student Council Elections - Presidency Speech

Thank you.

Good afternoon: principal, teachers, fellow students.

My name is Eastwood, and as a grade 12 next year, I would like to be your next Byng Arts President.

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our out-going presidents and all the members the Byng Arts Student Council, who have worked so hard all year long to bring us such a wonderful school year. Particularly, I want to thank my good friend, Jack. Though him, I have gained a lot of experience both in and out of the council.

As a member of the student council, I have sat on administration, advertising, and food committees. Apart from organizing for the Coffeehouses, I have also played a significant role in the planning of Master Classes and seminars. I designed and currently maintain the website of the Lord Byng Symphony Orchestra, and have worked for the World Bank (which, by the way, is a United Nations Organization) on Non-Motorized Transportation in African Cities. I have a high standing on Principal’s List, and will be the saxophone section leader of both the Senior Jazz Band and Senior Wind Ensemble. Fellow students, please give me your vote and I will carry all of my experiences and qualifications with me to better serve you as Byng Arts President.

As I’ve mentioned to many of you, there will be positive changes. You may ask, what are these positive changes? If I am voted as president, I will work together with my team, the student council, to create an electronic newsletter that reinforces a better communication and relationship within the council, between the council and the students, between the different arts, between Byng Arts and the main school, and between student, teachers, parents, and the community. I will also plan for more diversified activities that will allow every single one of you, in all aspects of the arts, to fully develop and show your potentials. Just imagine… Byng Arts students going to the Dunbar Community Centre and performing for the whole community, just an hour would mean a lot. Through these positive changes, we will continue to strengthen the common bond that will make us unique!

So please make your voices heard and your votes count and vote Eastwood for Byng Arts President!

Thank you very much! Merci beaucoup! Xie Xie!
