Student agency is important at ISB and the Student Council is an important part in the schools participation groups to ensure student voice in the affairs of the school.

There are two student councils, one for Lower school students and one for Upper School students, which means that all students from grade 1 to grade 10 has the possbility to raise awareness on subjects that they find important through their homeroom representatives This school year’s Student Council for Upper School has aimed to work towards fulfilling student requests and needs for the school year to ensure an appropriate environment here at ISB. The main topics addressed have been gender-neutral bathrooms and sanitary products available for students. Suggestions for activities and issues discussed at the meetings are then communicated through their representative. Focuing on maintaining and improving the learning and social environment of the school, the Student Council has arranged student-led activities on spirit days for the benefit of the emotional well-being of all the students. The student council have also this year highlighted the international anti-bullying initiative, Pink Shirt Day, which took place on the 23rd February. In addition, two of the Council members are also involved in the CEC meetings together with parent and staff representatives and to promote student input and perspectives to these meetings an example being when they were asked to give feedback to the CEC on student agency at the school.
