Inaugural SD57 Student Leadership Summit held at Duchess Park
PRINCE GEORGE – Hundreds of students gathered at Duchess Park Secondary School on Thursday to take in the inaugural School District 57 Student Leadership Summit put on by the District Student Advisory Committee (DSAC).
The event included seminars for leadership students from high schools across Prince George on mental health and wellness, truth and reconciliation, and more.
“We asked ourselves, how can we tie in what we’ve been doing to something new,” said Airi Sudo-Rustad, a grade 12 student and member of the SD57 District Student Advisory Committee. “To be honest with you, a lot of these things that we’re talking about, I never really learned and I’m at the end of my role in school, whereas it’s like if we teach these kids younger now and they’re leaders in the school, they can go out and make changes and so many different ways.”
