Student Senate

The Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) has a Student Senate that acts as the official advisory body for our secondary school councils. 

The Senate membership consists of two student-elected representatives from each of our seven secondary schools, which make up the 14 Student Senate members each school year. 

The student representatives serve as an advisory body and planning committee for all student related issues within the RCDSB and report directly to the two elected Student Trustees who co-chair the Senate. 

The Senate meets every month at the Board office, or virtually if meeting in-person is not possible.
