All Sun West Student Leaders work as part of one of two teams. Team Sun West that is responsible for organizing the annul Sun West Student Leadership Conference and the Sun West Squad that is responsible for developing programing, activities and resources to support student leadership in Sun West schools. Below are pictures of these two teams. In addition to these two main teams, some Student Leaders will participate in planning the 2026 ROADS TO SUCCESS Career Fair and participate in the Youth Consultation process, where students meet with the Sun West Board of Education to discuss matters of mutual concern.
The members of the Sun West Leadership Teams are selected from applicants who attended the annual Sun West Student Leadership Seminar. Every year, Sun West students in Grades 8-12 have the opportunity to attend the Sun West Student Leadership Seminar, which was held on October 15 in Rosetown this year, with over 80 students from 16 Sun West Schools in attendance. As part of the seminar students created the video above that demonstrates how student leaders make a difference in their schools and communities.
The activities and projects undertaken by Sun West Leadership Teams vary year-to-year but below is information to some of their work in the last two years.
