Student Leadership Mentor Career Development
The Division recognizes the importance of Career Development as essential in assisting students to develop the skills and competencies they will need in order to ensure successful transitions beyond our educational system. All schools with grades 9-12 in the Division have a designated Career Development teacher. Components of the Career Development Plan include: Middle Level Career Education, Career Counselling, Career and Work Exploration (CWEX), Apprenticeship Credit, Job Shadow and Off-Site Work-Based Activities.
Career Fair Every other year, a team of student leaders comes together to help plan and organize our ROADS TO SUCCESS Career Fair for Grade 10 and 11 students from across the division. The Career Fair is held in Rosetown and various educational and business related booths provide opportunities for students to gather information to educate them on future careers. The next Career Fair will be held in 2020.
Student Leadership
Team Sun West Sun West students in Grades 8-12 apply to be part of “Team Sun West (TSW)”. This team of student leaders organizes, prepares and plans an annual division-wide student led leadership conference. There is a different theme each year and the conference is hosted in different locations across the division.
Youth Consultation Group Every year, student representatives from Sun West schools apply to be involved on our Youth Consultation Group. This opportunity provides students with a platform to gather student voice on relevant ideas/issues and share research, findings, ideas, suggestions, etc. with the Sun West Board of Education. The intent is to inform and improve student programming and policies in order to further engage students and improve their quality of education.
Student Tutors This is a new leadership opportunity in which a team of Sun West Student Leaders collaborate with students from a private school in the United States. This global opportunity is a unique partnership and an incredible way for students to network, broaden their horizons, and expand their leadership skills.
As we explore new ways of learning and find out more about ourselves and how we learn best, that gradual and deliberate transfer of responsibility starts to occur. As students mature and become more familiar with personalized processes, they will assume increasing amounts of decision-making responsibility.
Educators become activators of learning, creating 21st century
culture and providing access to the supports and resources that
learners need to succeed.
Student voice and choice become drivers in determining the path towards achievement of personal and curricular goals.
PeBL is a term unique to Sun West used to describe a series of
activities that enable all of our schools to fully embrace the global
best practices of personalized and blended learning.
Many of our innovative teachers have already incorporated these
practices in their classroom; now we are deliberately creating
opportunities to share and build on our collective understanding
and application of them.
Through PeBL, we are creating a strong and encouraging school
culture and broadening our individual and collective sense of
self. We are working to ensure that all students have access to
exceptional opportunities to learn about curricular topics they are
passionate about in a way that complement their individual
learning style.
What is PeBL? A learner centred process that supports the gradual and deliberate transfer of responsibility between educator and student.
What is the long term goal of PeBL? To contribute to the embodiment and practice of 21st century skills, preparing learners to realize their full potential in all aspects of life.

Reminder to Sun West Students Before requesting a course…

a traditional school but are looking for more options
for high school electives;
training for a sport or some other extra-curricular
program and need your education to work around
practices;
your family is going on an extended vacation and
you'd like to keep up with your studies while you are
away; or
a parent looking to create a home-based learning
environment for your child and are looking for
support.
The DLC can be of assistance to you.
