STUDENT COUNCIL

School Pledge
I pledge
My head to lifelong learning and creativity,
My heart to respect and compassion, 
My hands to helping people and the planet, and 
My health to better living, 

I put my head, heart, hands, and health together to make a difference for my family, my school, my community, and the world!


At UST, we believe that student leadership builds skills and competencies essential for the 21st century. Involvement in student government and student press helps students learn to show initiative and responsibility, acquire problem-solving skills, build confidence, and teach them the importance of making a difference by serving their school and community.  

The Role of the Student Council
  • To promote the interests of students among the school administration, staff and parents.
  • To provide an opportunity for students to voice their opinions and offer suggestions in relation to student life. 
  • To discuss issues relevant to our school and encourage and promote initiatives from the students
  • To offer an opportunity for the students to get actively involved in improving our school.
  • To manage the Friendship Program with our sister-school in Cambodia 
  • To encourage students, and thereby their parents, to organize events central to the life of the school.
  • To provide an opportunity to raise funds for charities or for our School Fund.

Topics that come under discussion at Student Council meetings include the following:
school events; school rules and discipline; ecological issues; health and safety; homework; friendship; fundraising; students’ yearbook; ECAs.
