SD46 Student Forum

Closing remarks by Student Trustee Maya Treuheit

On April 30th, SD46 held it’s first Student Forum at the Sechelt Learning Centre.  This inaugural SD46 event was developed and facilitated by the SD46 District Student Leadership Team (DSLT).  Topics such as extracurricular activities, social media, and student stress were discussed at 7 round tables.  Each table consisted of one school trustee, DSLT representative, SD46 staff, and student representation from each secondary school.  At my table, “Team Double Green,” we had myself, Student Trustee Maya Treuheit, Principal Carolyn Spence, and one student representative from Elphinstone, Alternative Schools, Chatelech, and Pender Harbour ranging from grades 8 to 12.  We had an excellent discussion… coming up with great ideas such as an OPEN INVITATION to extracurricular activities, considering BYOD in schools, and creating a sensitivity to RACISM and racial slurs.  Thank you students of SD46.  I look forward to next year’s SD46 Student Forum.  Your voice matters!  #StuVoice  #StuVoiceBC
