Welcome to the inaugural Student Voice Committee of the International School of Brunei. This committee serves to represent the opinions and views of the students in this international, diverse school. The students on the committee have been chosen through their determination and abilities as the representatives of these students. As the Student Voice, we serve to give the best quality of school life possible for the student body through student-initiated activities and programmes that suit the students’ needs. The Student Voice consists of a committee of 6 Student Voice Consultants (SVCs), 3 from Year 10 and 3 from Year 12 under the control of the Student Voice President (Year 12) and Vice President (Year 10) who then liaises with the Student Voice Teacher-Supervisor and the Secondary Principal to approve of their actions. In this website, you will see current events involving the Student Voice, any news relating to the school that has been undertaken by the Student Voice and even photos of the events that have been initiated by the Student Voice. We hope you enjoy looking through the website and we look forward to hearing your opinion so that your voice can be heard!

Statements

Hello, my name is Natasha and I am the Student Voice President for 2012. I would like to welcome you to our website whether you are a staff member, student or parent. This year the Student Voice Council has been ‘revamped’ and has branched out to encompass several sub-committees: Environment, Social, Sports, Learning, Press and Finances/ Fundraising.

We are in the process of planning several events for the student body such as a ‘Talent Show’, football (soccer) tournament, Student Voice logo competition and lots more. I encourage you to keep up with what we are doing through this website, but also for you to contact us.

Nothing that this Student Voice Council achieves is possible without the support of you, as well as the rest of the members: Isaac (Vice President), Sujith (Fundraising/Finance), Marcelo (Social), Felmen (Sport) Marianne (Environment), Dean (Press) and Joshua (Learning) as well as the support of Mr Richard Edwards.

Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to meeting you during this year.

Natasha Birimac,
President, Student Voice

The social aspect of Student Voice is of great importance as it allows us to communicate with the rest of the Student Body, with the parents and teachers of ISB and with the Bruneian community as a whole. As Press Officer, my duties are to update the website, keep the Student Voice notice board up to date and to generally inform everyone in the student body of events and happenings within Student Voice. It would be my best suggestion to check the website for all the important events and notices that will be going on throughout the year. I’ve also been assigned to post the pictures of the events that have occurred in this Student Voice administration on the website to show all of the memories of our past events. For instance, the Valentine’s Day Social was a major success on Student Voice’s part and I’d like to thank everyone who came and had a great time. We’ll be planning more events throughout the year, so keep up with us via our website.

Dean Benavidez,
Student Voice Consultant (Press), Student Voice



The opinions of the Student Body are of utmost value to us, and we want to hear your voice heard. You can contact us directly or through our e-mail address at isbstudentvoice12@gmail.com. We will be roaming around in school during break or lunch times but every Wednesday lunchtime, we’ll set up a table where you can express your views to us.

Should you wish to speak with a specific member of Student Voice, you can always approach them in school or through their respective e-mail accounts.
