AISB Student Council Investiture Ceremony 2025/26

AISB proudly celebrated the official Investiture Ceremony of the 2025/26 Student Council, a significant tradition that reflects the school’s core mission of empowering compassionate young leaders for life.

Mr Henri opened the ceremony with a meaningful message, reflecting on how leadership within AISB is built not on authority but on service, empathy, and shared responsibility. He spoke about the Student Council as more than just a group of elected representatives, it is a platform for students to find their voice, embrace responsibility, and shape the future of their school community.

The School Choir then delivered a stirring performance of Child of Tomorrow, led by Mr Tom Solon. The performance captured the spirit of hope and leadership that defined the day.

The Student Council Pledge: A Promise to Lead with Compassion and Integrity

Guided by the Student Council Captains and Co-Captains, the council members rose to recite their pledge — a promise to uphold the values and vision of AISB. The pledge underscored their commitment to representing their peers, leading by example, and working collaboratively to make the school a better place for everyone.

The 2025/26 leadership team is proudly represented by:

• Secondary School Captain: Mari Wangsai

• Secondary School Vice Captain: Roman Shrestha

• Primary Co-Captain: Siah Yoo

• Primary Co-Captain: Thiengtrong (Ryu) Chavanakorn

After reciting the pledge, each leader received their badge of office from Mr Henri and signed the pledge on stage — a powerful moment symbolising responsibility, service, and trust.
