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 RCDSB Student Trustees act as co-chairs for the Student Senate.

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, in turn, report to the RCDSB Board of Trustees and Senior Staff. 

The Senate meets regularly, either at the RCDSB Board Office in Pembroke or virtually, if meeting in person is not possible.

RCDSB Student Trustees for the 2023-2024 school year are Sydney Dougherty (Arnprior District High School) and Grace Ding (Mackenzie Community School).
