Student Council

In addition to the faculty which looks after the over-all management and administration of the school, there is also Student Council which serves as the governing body of the student themselves. The objectives of this Student Council as set forth in the Council's Constitution are as follows:

The subcommittees of the student council are-

(1) Social Committee
(2) Music Committee
(3) Athletic Committee
(4) Evangelism Committee
(5) Publication Committee
(6) Messing Committee
(7) Finance Committee, and
(8) Cultural Committee.

Each committee is empowered to make decision and conduct its programmes within the framework of the Student Council's constitution. It must be said that this Student Council is very effective since every student is thereby given the opportunity to prove himself or herself in leadership, social dealing, administrative and financial trustworthiness, emotional and spiritual maturity, and social welfare among themselves and students from other theological seminaries. For instance, the Publication Committee publishes the K.B.T.S. Annual magazine and arranges wall newspapers. The Evangelism Committee arranges Renewal Programmes so as to guide the students in sharing the gospel. This Committee also organizes gospel campaigns among the non-Christians during December holidays. The Cultural Committee organizes Cultural shows in which all the students participate.Student Faculty Relationship
Generally, the relationship between students and faculty of the K.B.T.S. is one of smooth and sound relationship owing primarily to the cultivation by both sides of the spirit of love, understanding, and mutual concern. This cordial relationship expresses itself in the active participation of extracurricular activities by both the students and staff.Student's Participation in Community Life.

Like other seminaries, life in the K.B.T.S. is a very close-knit life like that of a family. Students donate blood when needed. Students tend to the sick and share each other's burden in time of illness and sorrow. Donations are collected among students when one of them is sick or hospitalized. There is cooperation among the students in carrying out their duties such as doing daily campus work, weekly general cleaning, distribution of meal in the messing hall, etc..

Moreover, there are many ways in which both students and faculty members participate in the Church, and to a wider extent, society. For instance, it is the usual practice of students and staff of the K.B.T.S. to divide into groups, visiting churches and going on gospel campaigns during holidays. Students also teach church schools in almost all churches under K.B.C. in Yangon Township. Senior students also visit Kayin churches in Yangon. There is internship of students during summer holidays.

Students Life

As in other universities and colleges, the K.B.T.S. students are also encouraged to take interest not only in academic learning but also in physical fitness and extracurricular activities. Here at K.B.T.S. football, volleyball, table tennis, chinlon and Htosetoe(Myanmar traditional games) are included in athletic activities. In addition to these, there are educative debates, film shows, singing competitions, drama competitions, cultural shows and talent shows which are sponsored by different subcommittees of the Student Council.

There is an annual Fund Fair sponsored by the staff and the students and the community encourage and enjoy it. Fund raised from this fair for the 2003-2004 academic year has been used in constructing a service tank.
The Seminary also has a Band Troop. Students who are interested in playing wind musical instruments are trained by the bandmaster for an hour every morning. Whenever there are special services and occasions, they are invited to present music.
