Student Government
Student Government (SG) at Burnaby South Secondary, is composed of approximately 30 students in grades 8-12 who work together to provide overseeing leadership and represent the student body as a whole. SG puts on a variety of small events each term to promote school spirit, such as Fear Factor, Gingerbread Decorating Contest, and Valentine’s Day Cake Off, just to name a few!

Events
Including big events such as Rebel Fest, Student Government hosts many events such as Fear Factor, Gingerbread Decorating, and Cake Off. The events are usually free to participate, however, it is only opened to the students who have paid their student activity fee at the beginning of the year. Additionally, every pair of Grade Representatives run an event sometime throughout the year for their grade. Please stay tuned for your grade event and join to be a part of the fun experience!
In addition, every 6 months, Student Government hosts Town Hall to hear ideas and information from the student body. Therefore, unlike other events, Town Hall is mandatory to participate for the students who have been randomly selected. With the feedback attained from Town Hall, Student Government uses it to improve the learning environment and school community. Some past improvements that Student Government made with the suggestions from Town Hall include repainting and repairing washrooms, opening of common spaces, and adding additional benches on hallways. The students that are randomly chosen will be notified via school announcements.
The posters for events are always up on school boards and our social media (@bbysouthstudentgov) 2-3 weeks in advance, so pay extra attention while walking down the hallways to participate in Student Government events!
