The student council serves as the voice of the student body, enabling them to be engaged in tackling academic matters (Woods, 2002). With the implementation of online distance learning, the duties of the student council should not cease even with the new factors affecting their proceedings. This study aims to find out if the BRafeNHS Student Representative Coordinating Council is still functioning effectively amidst the set-up of online distance learning what is the student body’s perception of their performance, and how it differs from the student leaders’ perception. Researchers disseminated a survey questionnaire to 75% of the BRafeNHS student body to rate the performance of the Executive, Legislative, and Media Committee. In evaluating the student council performance, four variables were considered in this study (authority, communication with students, implementation of school rules, and project implementation and student involvement). Interviews were also held with selected students from the council and student body to provide a more in-depth inquiry. Results showed that the BRafeNHS-SRCC is still functioning very effectively based on the student body, and they share almost the same perception on the first two variables, although the same cannot be said for the latter two. Still, the research concludes that the BRafeNHSSRCC is functioning effectively amidst the implementation of online distance learning.
