SMUSA COUNCIL

ABOUT THE COUNCIL

The SMUSA Council is the policy-making arm of the association and provides strategic direction to its executive arm, the SMUSA Executive Committee (ExCo). 

STRUCTURE

The President, Vice-President and Secretaries of the 9 departments in the SMUSA ExCo and the Presidents of the 6 School and 4 CCA Constituent Bodies (CBds) sits on the SMUSA Council.

​

These CBds are led by the respective Presidents and their individual Managing Committees (MCs). They ensure that the needs of their respective bodies are met.

WORKING COMMITTEES

Within the Council, 3 Working Committees (WC) are formed to look into specific aspects of student life that will better enhance and meet the needs of the student population.

ELECTIONS FEVER

The Elections Fever WC focuses on standardising the General Election processes across SMUSA and the CBds to unify elections as a Council. This increases the credibility of the elections. The WC also explores ways to increase the exposure of members running for the elections and the number of casted votes for the elections.

GRASSROOTS

The Grassroots WC identifies problems that students face in school and seeks to solve them by launching new initiatives or building on current initiatives. The "One Step At A Time" initiative was launched last year to provide students with free umbrella services so that they no longer have to worry about moving around unsheltered campus areas when it rains. The umbrellas also serve as a great shelter on sunny days.

LEADERSHIP
INDUCTION (SACLIP)

This programme is to officially induct the new batch of Council members through leadership simulations, case studies and activities that ingrain the values of working together as one Council. The 3-day programme also aims to create camaraderie between the newly elected Council members and for them to see the importance of themselves as individuals and a Council that eventually brings change for the better of the school community. This year, due to COVID-19 and its restrictions imposed, SACLIP was conducted virtually for the incoming Council.
