Student Council Form
Student Council Form
Dear Students,
No institution can be successful without dynamic leaders. At DPS Dubai, we believe in empowering students
with responsibility so that they may realize the full potential of their talent and leadership skills. Certain
members will be elected by the students instead of being appointed. We believe that this will further
empower the students as they will have the opportunity to choose the students that represent them. We ask
that you cast your vote only after careful thought and deliberation. Remember, every vote counts and your
vote is your chance to be part of the decision making process.
