WCI is looking for students to represent and join the WRDSB Student Senate for this school year.
***Please note: Due to COVID-19 the format for this year’s Student Senate has not been finalized.

STUDENT SENATE INFORMATION
Student Senate is an advisory group that meets regularly throughout the school year. It is comprised of student representatives from each of our secondary schools. The meetings provide an opportunity for the Senators to act as an advisory body to the Student Trustees, WRDSB, and Board Staff. The Senators provide a perspective on student issues and communicate back to their school’s student body the decisions made by WRDSB. Being involved in Student Senate also provides leadership opportunities for Senators as they advocate and learn the purpose and work of WRDSB.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
– Determine student issues, gather student opinions, and bring forth agenda items to Student Trustees
– Attend monthly Senate meetings
– Represent WCI by voting on Senate decision making
– Communicate to school community, Activities Council, and Administration about discussions/decisions at Student Senate meetings
– Attend School Council meetings to share student voice
– Be a positive ambassador and leader
