Written by Aiden L., Ariana G., Cara D., and Paolo E.,
Grade 8 Students
Hello Everyone! We are Aiden, Ariana, Cara, and Paolo and are happy to serve as this year’s Executive Team of the Prep School Student Council. Last year’s Core Four created our mission: “It is our goal to create a vibrant, inclusive, and fun space where student voice can be heard, spirit is encouraged, and purpose is a priority.” We are ready to uphold this mission and are excited to share our own perspectives on leadership.
Hi, I’m Aiden! I first joined Bayview Glen back in Grade 5, and I’m really excited to be a part of the Executive Committee this year! My mission is to ensure everyone feels included, involved, and safe, so that no one feels left out. I’ve participated on a sports team every term since I started here at Bayview Glen, and was in the Jazz and Concert Bands last year. I want to help build a space where everyone feels comfortable being themselves, open to new ideas, and truly welcome. We have a great year ahead of us. Let’s make it the best one yet!
Hi! My name is Ariana and I am thrilled to be one of the four heads of Student Council. Since joining Bayview Glen in Grade 4, I’ve been a part of numerous leadership opportunities, from speech contests to helping run New Family Orientation Evenings and now Student Council. These experiences have helped me grow as a leader. I know there’s a special kind of magic in creating something meaningful, and I hope to share that feeling with others in the Prep this year through inspiring leadership in others and creating more opportunities for student involvement within the school. I’m looking forward to a year at filled with leadership and growth!
Hi, I’m Cara, and I’m proud to serve as one of the Co-Heads of the Executive Team. My mission is to help students find their voice and feel confident sharing it. I’ve been at Bayview Glen for six years, and during that time, I’ve learned how much a supportive leader can empower others. I encourage everyone to speak their truth, even when it’s hard, and I strive to inspire my peers to believe in themselves. As Nelson Mandela once said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” I am dedicated to guiding, uplifting, and motivating others, creating a school community where every student feels heard, valued, and inspired to make a difference.
Hello, I’m Paolo and as one of your Heads of Student Council, I want to take some of the privileges that we are fortunate to have as members of an independent school and help extend them to the community around us. As I enter my 11th year at Bayview Glen, I have not just witnessed, but taken part in, many of the activities that we are given access to (for example, Gryphon Athletics, robotics, musical bands, etc.). I plan to use my previous experience on our Community Outreach Committee to further not just the direct needs of the students, but the wider community around them. I can’t wait for this year; let’s make it amazing, Prep!
We are lucky to have an amazing team behind us that includes and represents all aspects of Prep School life and look forward to making this year a memorable one.
Sincerely,
Aiden, Ariana, Cara, and Paolo
Co-Heads of Council, PSC
