In keeping with the Mission, Vision and Values of the Niagara Catholic District School Board, the Niagara Catholic District School Board values the leadership, participation, and voice of students and their Secondary Student Senate representatives.

The Niagara Catholic District School Board recognizes the benefits accrued when students have an opportunity to share and represent the perspectives and insights from their school communities.

To assist the Student Trustees on the Board, and the Student Representative to the Niagara Catholic Parent Involvement Committee (NCPIC) and the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC), the Niagara Catholic Student Senate has been established with representatives from each of the Board’s Catholic secondary schools.

The Student Senate provides a forum for student servant leadership, the exchange of ideas, discussion, consultation, and communication through its Co-Chairs/Student Trustees with the Board, Director of Education, Senior Administrative Council and all students in the Niagara Catholic District School Board.

The Director of Education will issue Administrative Operational Procedures for the implementation of this policy.
