C.O.L.S. Central Ontario Leadership Seminar
This is a dynamic, all expense paid, three-day workshop offered to one grade 10 student each year. It aims to motivate and develop future leaders by recognizing young talent and providing a forum to build upon leadership skills. See guidance for more details.
Morning Announcers
Each morning we are greeted with the sweet sound of announcers who tell us what is happening at WNSS! These students apply for this position at the beginning of the year and are chosen based on their enthusiastic voices. Any student is welcome to apply.
Student Council
West Niagara's student council plays a crucial role in representing the student body and fostering a sense of community within our school. Its responsibilities include organizing and coordinating school events and activities, advocating for student concerns and interests to our school administrators, and promoting leadership and civic engagement among students. Student council also promotes a positive and enthusiastic school environment. Members organize events, fundraisers, spirit days, and activities that foster a sense of belonging and pride among students, ultimately boosting school spirit and unity. See Mrs. Burattini, Smithson, or Fairbank if interested.
Music Council
The Music Council is a group of students in the department who assist in planning trips, events, and concerts for all music students. Any music student is encouraged to participate. See Ms. Henderson or Mrs. McNeil if you are interested.
Student Mentors
Student mentors are a group of students in grades 10-12 who help out with various events during the school year. These events include parent-teacher interviews, open house, grade 8 tours, and more! New members are always welcome! See Mme. Findlay if interested.
WNSS Peer Tutoring
Want to help your fellow peers with their academics? Being a peer tutor is a rewarding experience that will help you consolidate your knowledge and feel good about helping someone else. You can use this experience on your resume and may be able to earn community service hours for it too! See Ms. Zombola or Ms. McCready to be paired with a tutee.
Camp Wolf Finder
The target audience for Camp Wolf Finder is the unconventional leader. We encourage all students to attend and work together to identify their strengths and weaknesses. As the week continues opportunities are created where everyone is given the opportunity to lead and support. The benefit of our design of the camp environment is that the leaders are not what the education system identifies as conventional leadership. See Mrs. Whitehead, Mr. Carey & Mr. Aloian for further information.
