What is the Student Senate?
We're a group of passionate leaders from public schools across the Halton District School Board. We meet once a month to provide the student perspective on board issues and to voice the questions and concerns of Halton students. The Student Trustees relay these perspectives to the Board of Trustees to ensure that students are being represented.
Each year, we also organize and run the Halton Youth Leadership Symposium, a conference for Halton students.
