![]() Student VoiceRegional Student ForumsWhy is the Ministry hosting regional student forums?We want to hear your perspectives and ideas about your education. Be a champion for Student Voice in your school! What you told us at the first student forum in 2008:On May 12, 2008, the Minister met with 60 students. Students talked and we listened to their ideas about what they want to see in their schools. They shared their ideas on how to promote Student Voice, what they want from their education, and how to get more students excited about learning and going to school. The energy at the forum was contagious. We plan to keep the lines of communication open and keep building on this momentum by continuing to listen to students. Andrew and Pascal are the students who facilitated the student forum. Listen to what they had to say in these video clips about how to engage students and get them excited about school:
What you told us at the 2009 and 2010 regional student forums:Here are some ideas students had that would strengthen their engagement and ensure all voices were heard:
What is involved in a regional student forum?As a student in Grades 7 to 12, you may be invited to participate in these forums. The forum is a one-day consultation with other students from across the region. A variety of education topics will be discussed. Every year the Minister's Student Advisory Council suggests topics for the regional forums. The information shared at the forum will be shared with the ministry and the Minister of Education. When will these regional student forums be held?Regional student forums will be organized throughout the school year. You will meet other students, exchange ideas and work together to make positive changes at your schools. How can I participate in a regional student forum?A different group of students will be invited to participate in each forum to ensure diversity and various perspectives from students across the province. Please talk to your Student Success Teacher if you are interested in getting involved in a forum and share this with those you think would also be interested. If you are not sure who your Student Success Teacher is, please talk to your principal. Past Forums2011
