After Elections:
Following October 10, the first candidate we reached out to was Caroline Kim from 12-Rigor. She ran for President under the Novel Party, advocating for the Student Council to become a novelty — inspired by her running mates who were also new students.
"The meaning of our party 'Novel' is to create a new journey for Southville and our party mostly consisted of new students in Southville, and we had more diverse ideas because we were all from different schools," she emphasized
The diverse backgrounds of the Novel Party's candidates were also why Caroline believed that her party's proposals were fresh and diverse.
"I thought their plans were really nice," she said when asked about their rival party Avengers' plans.
"However, most of the candidates tried to bring back the past events back before COVID-19 while, our party tried to really make new events that students in Southville couldn't have thought of and never experienced," she went on to say.
Albeit bested in the Presidential race, Caroline believed that there is a small chance her party's proposals can still be instigated if raised to the new Council. The decision will be in other people's hands.
In 7-Resilience is Marcus Rossal, the winner of the Grade 7 Level Representative race. Last year, Marcus served his batchmates as the Grade 6 Level Representative. This year, his independent run, added another win to the list.
Regarding the events that occurred in the Miting De Avance and campaign season, he said that he didn’t disagree with any proposals by his fellow candidates. While his peers presented events and activities for the school (eg. karaoke days, prom, TEDx, cell phone charging stations), his plans centered more on about better communication, efficiency of information sharing, and opening up about personal feelings.
