Student Leadership Program / Sun West School Division

The 2021-22 Sun West Student Leadership Program

Sun West students between Grades 8 and 12 can apply to be part of the Sun West Student Leadership Program if they attend one of two online leadership seminars being held on October 5 and 6 at 12:00 noon both days. Students will receive information about Team Sun West, which is responsible for organizing the annual student leadership conference; the Student-Board Consultation Team, who represents student views to the Board of Education; and the student team that will assist with the 2022 Roads to Success Career Fair. For more information contact your school administrator or the Student Leadership Advisor in your school.

Putting Student Choice and Voice into action!

Encouraging and facilitating student leadership is a priority area for the Sun West School Division and goes hand-in-hand with our Personalized electronically Blended Learning (PeBL) philosophy. Initiated by the Sun West Board of Education in 2007, the Sun West Student Leadership Program has grown to include four components and students in the program have also represented Sun West at provincial and national events.

Last year the Student Leadership program went virtual to accommodate the various COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. Below is information about the 2020-21 Student Leadership Program. New information about the 2021-22 Student Leadership Program is coming soon!

2020-21 Student Leadership Program

Student Leadership Program members participating in a Microsoft Teams meeting.

At the beginning of the 2020-21 school year, Sun West invited applications from interested students to be part of the Student Leadership Program. Students who applied were selected to be members of one of two groups. There are Team Sun West whose primarily responsibility is to plan and deliver the annual Sun West Student Leadership Conference and The Youth Consultation Team whose main purpose is to gather student views on educational issues students consider most important and make recommendations to the Board of Education about these issues.

The Student Leadership Program members meet monthly via Microsoft Teams and also stay in touch via Teams.

Team Sun West held the first-ever virtual Sun West Leadership Conference on April 23, 2021. Click here to view a video of conference highlights.

Every month Student Leadership members put together a collection of great ideas on how to keep school spirit going even during the pandemic with the various limitations on activities caused by COVID-19.
