Student Council
About The Student Council
The mission of the Student Council is to promote students’ interests, reflect their concerns, and organize their activities within the framework of The Emirates Academy’s rules and regulations. It is run and managed by students reporting to the Students Support Officer and then to the Director of Learning Resources and the Dean.
Purpose
EAHM Falcons
The EAHM Falcon logo was voted by the students to represent them as a student body, and to help increase the unity among the students and future Alumni.
The sport of hunting with falcons was associated with nobility in Europe, Japan, Middle East and China, where falcons symbolize keen vision, boldness, and swiftness. At its core, the falcon represents visionary power, wisdom, and guardianship. This could be in your student life, vocation, work and career.
See below for a list of falcon attributes and how it represents the EAHM students and Alumni:
Superiority
Power
Focus
Freedom
Aspiration
Intensity
Determination
The development of merchandising is still in progress, and more information regarding products will come soon.

Welcome Back BBQ
At the start of every trimester, the Student Council hosts a “Welcome Back” Barbecue by the poolside/ barbecue area. It is a great opportunity for old friends to catch up as well as for new students to interact with the existing students, whilst enjoying the music delivered by our in-house DJ. A delicious and complimentary barbecue is also prepared by the Student Council representatives for you as a student to enjoy.

Every team consists of 4 players and the event is held on the Rooftop in the evening. More information will be provided by the Student Council throughout the trimesters.

We support the Community!
Non-Uniform Day
The first Sunday of each month is designated The Academy’s Non-Uniform Day. On this day students and staff are not required to wear the academy uniform. Anyone choosing to wear casual clothes is required to make a donation of AED 10 to our charity, Dubai Autism Centre, during class time. One hundred percent of the funds collected are donated to the selected charity organization; no administrative cost incur. The Student Council communicates information concerning the upcoming Non-Uniform Day on a regular basis to the students.
Donation Drive
One or two times a year a blood donation drive is organized. All The Academy staff, faculty and students comes together with the staff from the Jumeirah properties to help save lives around the country. More information will be provided by the Student Council throughout the trimesters.
Clothes Donation Box
At The Academy the students and staff take part in helping the community in any way they can. This is why The Academy and the Student Council also offers everyone the opportunity to donate clothing items to people in need, by giving the students and staff the opportunity to drop-off their hand-me-downs in the donation box located on campus.
