For those who have attended at Junior College in the past two decades, undoubtedly they have heard of the intense rivalry between SDM and Pulse.
Year after year, the two organisations battle each other, in order to elect their respective candidates in the Junior College Student Council — also known as KSJC or il-Kunsill. Usually, one of the two organisations manages to get enough votes to elect all its seven members, but usually does not mean always.
Those born in 1995, 1996 and 1997, probably remember the 2012 mixed council. After five consecutive years of Pulse in the KSJC, in 2012 SDM managed to elect four members in the Council, who were; Steve Zammit Lupi (now KSU Vice-President), Kurt Drakard, Simon Forster and Jeannette Gillard. Meanwhile Pulse elected Claire Azzopardi, Ayrton Mifsud (now Pulse’s President) and Daniel Camilleri.
As expected, there were variosu frictions between in the council during that term, which frictions also became more visible when the council presented its work a year later, during the 2013 Annual General Meeting.
While both Steve Zammit Lupi and Ayrton Mifsud are still both involved in student activism, all seven members of the council have gone separate ways since then.
The pictures below will show how each of the seven members of the council looked in 2012 (left) and how they look now, 2017 (right).
President – Claire Azzopardi
Secretary General – Steve Zammit Lupi
