Ladysmith Secondary School and the LDBA

The Ladysmith Secondary Student Government is a group of students who are developing the school’s unity and individuals’ feeling of value by improving communication between the Student Government and the school groups, teams and individuals. We wish that all students will feel that their voice is heard, that their ideas matter and something will be done about them.

Started towards the end of the 2007/08 school year with former Principal John Blain’s initiative, the Student Government is a group of dedicated students who wish to better their school. Two years prior, Mr. Blain created the HUB, a group with similar goals. Presently in the Student Government, approximately twenty students, with the direct support of four teachers, are responsible for the results they pursue. They used the 2008/09 school year to implement the Student Government and develop a constitution that would determine the workings of Ladysmith Secondary School to ensure the necessary, strong connection between the governance and the school. In short, the model developed features the Student Government as a central council in the school with which subcommittees, school groups and all students communicate ideas, opinions, requests and feedback. With this information, the Student Government’s members discuss possible endeavors and how to best make these happen.
