II. Student Government 
The Student Council has been set up to establish democratic procedures governing student activities and to develop a sense of responsibility, growth in self-discipline, intelligent leadership, student-to-student-to-teacher cooperation, scholarship, school spirit and true Christian virtues. The Associated Student Body Government makes the student more involved in governmental affairs in conjunction with the administration and faculty. Its aim is to promote a harmonious relationship throughout the school by means of organized activities and projects. In such activities and projects the students use their responsibility by working in the interests of their fellow students.

The Catholic ideal of education demands the training of the whole individual, hence we find at St. Bonaventure a program of extra-curricular activities that fulfill the religious and recreational needs of students, gives them an opportunity for developing individual interests and, at the same time, teaches conscientiousness and good morals. Membership in all school organizations is open to all interested students who meet the necessary qualifications. Each club or organization has its own requirements. Students are urged to participate in activities with the idea of contributing and not just belonging. Every student is encouraged to participate in at least one extra-curricular activity.
