GRADE 11  STUDENT FROM CKSS

"Ever since I first heard about the Student Trustee role in elementary school - I instantly fell in love with the opportunity to lead change in the HDSB and knew it was a role I saw myself in. After years of involving myself in the HDSB Student Senate initiatives and hearing the voices/concerns of hundreds of HDSB students - I can't express in words how humbled, grateful and honoured I am that my dream has come true! I'm unbelievably excited to work with Sultan, board members and most importantly, the students to ensure the HDSB is always striving to support every student in reaching their potential throughout their schooling & beyond. The Student Trustee role means the world to me - after watching my predecessors voice student concerns and reach immense heights at the board level, I am excited to see where this role takes me. I hope to put my best foot forward in mitigating the barriers between the HDSB and the student's voices to uplift the incredible students who make up the HDSB!" 

GRADE 11 STUDENT FROM APHS

"Being elected as one of the successful candidates to represent over 66,000 students in our board has been an unparalleled experience. I feel a great sense of excitement and anticipation for the work Shrena and I will be able to contribute to enhancing HDSB in the upcoming school year. I am deeply grateful to my friends, family, and teachers who have provided unwavering support throughout this journey. Without their encouragement, I would not have reached where I am today. Additionally, I am honored and grateful to all the students in the HDSB who placed their trust in me to safeguard their interests. I am optimistic about the future of this school board, and I am confident that we will achieve great things together!"
