The Strategic Plan for Bluewater District School Board was launched at the Regular Meeting of the Board on January 24, 2012.

    From each high school in the BWDSB, a representative or student senator goes to monthly meetings at the school board office in Chesley, Ontario and brings ideas and suggestions from their school. They are a part of the Student Senate.

    In May 2012, the Student Senate held their first conference, "SOS (Support Our Students) - Voices and Choices" at OSCVI in Owen Sound, Ontario with a focus on student mental health. A sequel titled, "Rumour Has It", followed in May 2013.
