We all had to achieve extraordinary things in recent years and cope with situations that challenged us all more than just a little. But we mastered it, and finally it was time again for: Normality! A word that we have frequently not only heard but also felt this year. Regardless of these burdens, the standards were reset to the status quo ante, and much was demanded of us. But we were able to prove ourselves again and triumph despite the backlogs of the last years.
But let's get to us. We, the student council, consisting of Tobias Wolff, Valentin Binder, and Dogan Güngördü, have focused this year on the one hand on democracy, but also on the expansion of our projects.
First of all, we revolutionized the student council election and raised it to a new level by not only significantly expanding the presentation of the candidates but also making the entire process more impartial, refined, and serious. But the two student parliaments, in addition to regular surveys, were also a huge step towards giving students more co-determination rights. Apart from that, we also included the lower school representation in the School Community Committee (SGA) and hope to finally give the entire lower school a voice next year.
Of course, our work was far from over. The successful request for partitions for our urinals and the dispenser for feminine hygiene products were a very important part of our work to make things more comfortable for all of us elsewhere too.
We were also able to improve everyday school life in the area of mental health, with the close cooperation with the school psychotherapist and the hopefully soon completed introduction of trusted teachers making up the main part. The certificate system could also be expanded to show more recognition for individuals who go the extra mile.
Events have also not been neglected this year. On the one hand, the eSports events, with the last large, cross-school one attracting a lot of attention. Likewise, the donation campaign for Ukraine, for which we were able to raise a very considerable amount of useful items.
Thus, I wish you a relaxing summer and thank everyone for the good cooperation.
Your Head Boy
