Like the knights of King Arthur, the students of Selwyn college have their own round table that is the student council(SCSA). These awesome people are the ultimate philanthropists when it comes to giving away their time for the welfare of the college. Doing it for mates and stuff. So there are a few roles to play as a councillor which include, the President. The big man who does a lot of behind the scenes work and is a general good sort. Then we have his right-hand man the vice president who organises the Selwyn merchandise, the court sessions where our competitors reminisce after a battle against knox.

We have the I.A. (internal affairs fellow). This guy makes sure the traditions of selwyn are upheld including organising the annual Selwyn ballet, the haka and waiata, and organising the selwyn record, a magazine with a collation of the years memories to make sure we dont forget. Next we have the social rep, this social butterfly organises all the HOPS (selwyn partys) and also the Balls (orientation and 21sters). Along with this workload the social rep also helps organise the College House exchange. The last two people on the council organise the battles with knox. The cultural rep and sport rep organise these competitions with knox for two very special prizes-the Cameron Shield(sports) and the Neville Cup(cultural). It just so happens that were winning both of them this year (wahoo!) Now last but certainly not least (cliche i know) is the treasurer who provides the financial front to make sure all these events happen!

Well thats our council so any prospective student applying for Selwyn College, your not alone and its because of these people that life at selwyn is so unique and amazing. Shot guys!!
