The Student Council (Badge Holders) Election 2020-21 of Cambridge Primary was held virtually on Thursday, 27/08/2020 with great aspiration and festivity. The pandemic of the deadly
Covid 19 cannot stand a barrier to stop the events and activities of Cambridge Primary. All the events of the wing are taking place spontaneously according to the Academic Calendar. Election 2020-21 is one of those significant events. First of all, an Election Commission was formed consisting of the Coordinators, Class Teachers and House Masters (Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix, Unicorn). The Election Commission made a super plan under the guidance of Vice Principal to hold a fair election. The commission chose twelve best outstanding students in terms of academics and extracurricular activities to contest in the portfolios of Head Boy/Sports Captain Boy, Head Girl/Sports Captain Girl, Dragon Captain/Vice Captain, Griffin Captain/Vice Captain, Phoenix Captain/Vice Captain, Unicorn Captain/Vice Captain. The unique part of the Election 2020-21 is that all twelve chosen candidates receive a post of Badge Holder and thus no one is disappointed. The Election Commission held all meetings on Zoom. The Class Teachers and House Masters were responsible to help their candidates to be ready with their Manifestos and Symbols. The names of all the candidates with their portfolios and symbols are provided below with this report. The campaigning was held on Thursday, 20/08/2020. All the candidates presented themselves through their Manifestos and Symbols. Principal Sir and Vice Principal Ma’am were present in the online platform of Zoom to listen to all the candidates and see their techniques of luring the voters to vote for them. The campaigning ceremony indeed seemed that we were going to have a National Election. After this official ceremony of campaigning; students had one week time to attract their friends and teachers to vote for them. The candidates were so much excited that they sent regular requests to their friends and teachers. Finally, the voting day arrived. The voters were the students of Grade 4, 5 and all the teachers of Cambridge Primary including Principal Sir and Vice Principal Ma’am. The voting was held in Google Classroom.
The Ballot was prepared in a Google Form (Quiz Assignment Format). Each voter could only give their response once. So there was no chance of unfair means. The commission tried their level best to create a democratic environment of a free and fair election. The task was difficult for them as they had to do everything virtually but their sincere effort set an example of hosting such events with great success. The voting process started at 8:30 am and continued till 10 am. Principal Sir and Vice Principal Ma’am voted for everyone as Heads of the Institution. The results were ready at 12:30 pm. Principal Sir announced the results at 1:20 pm in the presence of Vice Principal, Coordinators, Teachers and Students. The candidates were not disheartened as everyone received a post and became a Badge Holder.
