Student Council Elections 2019

First Year elections for the Summerhill Student Council the were held recently with four new members elected from a shortlist of the sixteen tutor class captains. The Elections sub committee consisting of Stephen Ryan, Diarmuid Brennan, Fraser Woodward, Elijah Garcia, Noah Gregory, Eamonn Feehily, Conor Meade and Padraig Cawley set up the GP Area for the E- voting. Class groups were called to the GP via intercom during second class. Students then familiarised themselves with the candidates and in an exciting atmosphere each student choose their favoured representative. Proportional representation was used so each candidate could select up to their fourth choice. The voting went down without a hitch. Elections were finished and the GP Area was back to normal by break time. The victors of the first years elections were announced the following week. Their successful candidates were Nathan Conway, Marc O Brien, Ryan Ndlovu and Brian Healy. We look forward to working with these new members for the good of all students in Summerhill College.
