All Sun West Student Leaders work as part of one of two groups: Team Sun West, which organizes the annual Sun West Student Leadership Conference, and the Sun West Squad, which develops programming, activities and resources to support student leadership in Sun West schools. Photos of both teams are shown below.
In addition to these main groups, some student leaders will help plan 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 issues of mutual concern.
Leadership Team members are chosen from applicants who attended the annual Sun West Student Leadership Seminar. Each year, Sun West students in Grades 8 to 12 may attend the seminar — held this year on Oct. 15 in Rosetown — which drew more than 80 students from 16 Sun West schools. As part of the seminar, students created the video shown above, highlighting how student leaders make a difference in their schools and communities.
