CWDHS student appointed to Minister’s Student Advisory Council

March 29, 2018

FERGUS, Ontario – A student from Centre Wellington District High School will have a chance to make her voice heard at the Ministry of Education. CWDHS student Kylie Barfoot has been appointed to the 2018-19 Minister's Student Advisory Council.

CWDHS student Kylie Barfoot has been appointed to serve on the 2018-19 Minister’s Student Advisory Council (MSAC).

Kylie was selected out of more than 400 applications. Sixty students in grades 7 to 12, including Kylie, will serve on the council for the 2018-19 school year, representing the province’s cultural, social and geographic diversity. Students were selected who show a passion for issues affecting today’s youth and who have a strong desire to make a difference in the world.

The MSAC allows students from across Ontario to make their voices heard regarding important issues in education.

Students sitting on MSAC meet with the Minister of Education twice during their one-year term, form sub-committees on topics that are important to them and may also participate in other student forums or conferences.

The council provides youth with an opportunity to share their perspectives with the Ministry of Education, make recommendations and participate in consultations. Students are also able to provide feedback on a number of Ministry initiatives.

Congratulations Kylie!
