About the Student Senate
The
Student Senate is the official committee representing secondary
students’ views to the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.
It
is composed of one Student Senator per secondary school and is chaired
by the Student Trustees. Student Senators and Student Trustees each
serve a one-year term. Student Trustees gather feedback from Student
Senators to bring to the board and communicate updates to the student
body at-large through the Student Senate.
What the Student Senate Does
The
Student Senate meets once a month to discuss key issues. Oftentimes,
board staff attend meetings to receive feedback directly from students.
Student Senators also have the opportunity to attend OCDSB Committee
meetings (Committee of the Whole, Special Education Advisory Committee,
Advisory Committee on Equity, Advisory Committee on the Arts, Indigenous
Education Advisory Council, Audit Committee) to provide additional
student voice at the board level.
Schools
must complete their Student Senator election or appointment process for
the upcoming school year by May 31st. Typically, Student Senators also
serve on their school’s student council. Students interested in becoming
a Student Senator should contact their student council, student council
teacher-supervisor, or school administration. For more information,
refer to Policy P.113.GOV: Student Senate.
