Take a Chance on Student Leadership!

Every year, Sun West students in Grades 8-12 have the opportunity to be part of Sun West Student Leadership Teams. In mid-October, a Student Leadership Seminar is held in Rosetown. Students interested in student leadership are invited to attend and will be transported their by their school principal or vice-principal (who also will be meeting in Rosetown on the same day). At the seminar, students will learn about the Student Leadership Teams and can apply to be part of the Sun West Leadership Teams after the seminar. Those who are selected will participate in monthly meetings in Rosetown starting in November and going until May. At these meetings, the leadership teams will be responsible for organizing the annual Sun West Student Leadership Conference and developing a plan to bring student concerns and ideas to the Sun West Board of Education. The Leadership Conference is usually held in April every year and the meeting with the Board of Education is usually at the end of May. In the 2025-26 school year, Sun West Student Leaders will also assist with the bi-annual ROADS to SUCCESS Career Fair, which is also held in May. In the video above, past members of the Sun West Student Leadership describe the Student Leadership Teams experience and encourage you to take a chance on Student Leadership!

If you are interested in being part of Sun West Student Leadership Teams, speak to your school Student Leadership Advisor about attending the Student Leadership Seminar.

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.
