Student Senate is a body made up of student leaders from each secondary school in the Durham District School Board (DDSB). Student Senate represents all students in the DDSB. It does so by voicing student concerns and perspectives on school and Board matters. Student Trustees relay these thoughts to the Board of Trustees. 

Executive Council

Student Senate is led by a student Executive Council, made up of a president, a vice-president, three regional representatives, and three working group chairs, all elected by Senators.

Interested in becoming a Senator?

Senators are elected prior to May 30 every year. Full-time secondary students in the DDSB are eligible to run for Student Senate. Students should contact their school Principal to put themselves forward as a candidate.
