2024年2月21日在南阿尔伯塔喜剧节礼堂举行了首届学生福祉研讨会。此次活动由24所CBE中学、受托人和社区合作伙伴参加，旨在通过增强学生言论权利来推进CBE高中的福祉文化。充满热情的学生是活动的中心，其基础是 CBE学生福祉框架。活动的灵感源自富有洞察力的领导者和热情的学生合作。

活动从特里斯滕·伊格尔泰尔（Tsuu Tina Nation的年轻知识传承者）的歌声开始了一天的美好开端。我们的代理首席督学加里·斯托瑟谈到了领导者如何创造安全和信任的圈子。来自艾伯塔卫生服务部的可信赖合作伙伴、健康促进员南妮特·格罗普带领学习全面学校健康，这是 CBE学生福祉框架​的重要组成部分。

首席督学学生咨询委员会的成员参与了一个小组讨论，分享了他们学校在实施福祉倡议方面的成功故事。Henry Wisewood高中的学生们也分享了他们为创造福祉文化所做的努力。在整个研讨会期间，参与者了解到学生的声音是一种促使变革的有力工具，所有学生都可以做出有价值的贡献。

由厄内斯特·曼宁烹饪艺术学生提供了美味的午餐，来自前和现在CBE学生组成的摇滚乐队“Ready Set Bro''为他们带来了娱乐。学校改进代理督学迈克·尼尔森博士发表了结束讲话，并进一步挑战学生们，“当你们回到学校实施创造的福祉计划时，想想今天没有被代表在你们圆桌上的人。” 

在研讨会前，成人参加了一次专业学习，旨在确立基于CBE学生福祉框架的基础知识和提升学生声音的重要性。学校在专门的预学习中与他们的学生一起参加了特殊设置，并且在研讨会上提供了额外支持，以确保所有学生都感到归属感和自主权。 

在CBE学生福祉研讨会上，每所学校的团队制定了福祉行动计划，通过学生的声音与其他学校合作，进一步完善他们对福祉的愿景，并通过摄影展项目来庆祝这项工作。这些福祉机会的影响通过CBE高中学生之间的积极反馈、学习和互动得到了体现。​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​​​​The first Student Well-Being Symposium occurred on Feb. 21, 2024, at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. The event was attended by 24 CBE High Schools, Trustees and community partners with the goal of elevating student voice to advance a Culture of Well-Being across CBE high schools. The enthusiastic students were the heart of the event with the CBE Student Well-Being Framework as the foundation. The inspiration rippled out from insightful leaders and passionate student collaborations.

The day began in a good way with a song from Tristen Eagletail, a young knowledge keeper from Tsuu Tina Nation. Our Interim Chief Superintendent, Gary Strother, spoke about the way leaders create circles of safety and trust. The keynote address from Nikkole Heavy Shields impactfully shared the importance of creating an inclusive community through compassion and belonging. Our trusted partner from Alberta Health Services, Health Promotion Facilitator Nannette Gropp, led learning on Comprehensive School Health which is an essential part of CBE’s Student Well-Being Framework​.

Members of the Chief Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council participated in a panel discussion sharing their schools’ success stories on implementing well-being initiatives. Henry Wisewood High School students also shared what they’re doing to create a Culture of Well-Being. Throughout the symposium, participants learned how student voice is a powerful tool in effecting change and how all students can make valuable contributions.

A delicious lunch was provided by Ernest Manning Culinary Arts students and entertainment was enjoyed from “Ready Set Bro” a rock band of former and current CBE students. Interim Superintendent of School Improvement, Dr. Mike Nelson, shared closing remarks and further challenged the students to, “think of who is not represented at your table today when you return to your schools to enact the well-being plans created.” 

Prior to the Symposium, adults attended a pre-learning professional learning to establish both foundational knowledge rooted in the CBE Student Well-Being Framework and the importance of elevating Student Voice. Unique settings schools attended a specialized pre-learning with their students and were provided additional support at the Symposium to ensure that all students felt a sense of belonging and empowerment. 

At the CBE Student Well-Being Symposium, each school’s team created a well-being action plan, collaborated with other schools to refine their visions for well-being through student voice and will celebrate by capturing this work through a photovoice project. The impact of these well-being opportunities was exemplified through the positive feedback, learnings, and interactions among students across CBE high schools.​
