At the monthly meetings the Counsellors themselves provide the entertainment, with the aid of the students, who have particular talents that are interesting to the student body. Among the various 'shows put on have been a magic show, small skits, speeches and a show on the various types of light. All things considered, the Student Council has had a very auspicious year.
