Yeshiva College last week announced its new student leadership for 2021, with the positions of head boy and head girl going to Akiva Fox and Kayla Sifris respectively.
“A student leader should strive to be a kiddush Hashem, standing up for what’s right, and not simply doing what’s easy. In addition, they should emit empathy for their peers, and create harmony for the school at large,” the school said. “These are two outstanding students who emulate these qualities and lead by example.”
Pointing out that it prides itself on developing students who are academically accomplished and have a sense of community responsibility, the school said, “The vice-heads, Ethan Lewus and Sara Barnes, will no doubt support the head leaders while leading the school effectively in their own right.”
Yeshiva has also elected committees from the Grade 11 student group, which will develop and run initiatives that represent the values of the school. These include inspiration and unity, Israel, chesed, media, environment and advocacy, sport, and arts and culture.
Voting was done by students via an online voting system during the school day on Thursday, 13 August.
