Four students from each house, i.e. Al-Beruni, Al-Farabi, Al- Ghazali and Al-Razi selected as Captain and Vice-Captain. Students from classes (l to V), the heartbeat of our school, first actively participated for two days in election campaign in their respective areas accompanied by their teachers.

Ballot boxes and ballot papers were placed accordingly in the supervision of election manager. Students gathered to cast their votes in the presence of House In charges.
