Who We Are
The Student Activity Council at Earl Haig Secondary School is a student-led group that plans and supports activities, events, and initiatives aimed at building community and giving students a voice in school life.
Our Role at Earl Haig
Earl Haig Secondary School, in North York, Toronto, is one of the Toronto District School Board’s large secondary schools. It offers a broad range of academic programs, arts, and athletics. SAC sits within that ecosystem. We do not run the school—that is the role of the administration and staff—but we do help shape the non-academic side of student life. That includes spirit events, fundraisers, cultural and social activities, and channels for student feedback. Our goal is to make the school experience more engaging and inclusive, and to give students real opportunities to lead and collaborate.
Structure and How We Work
SAC is made up of students who are elected or appointed each year, often with staff support. We typically have executive roles and committees that focus on specific areas—for example, events, communications, or fundraising. Meetings are held regularly during the school year. Decisions about themes, events, and initiatives are made by the council with input from the broader student body where possible. We also work closely with the school administration to ensure that what we plan fits with school policy, the calendar, and safety requirements. So while SAC is student-led, we operate within the framework of Earl Haig and the TDSB.
Values and Priorities
We aim for inclusivity, so that students from all grades and backgrounds feel welcome at our events and in our processes. We also try to reflect the diversity of Earl Haig and the Toronto community in the kinds of activities we run. Equity and respect are non-negotiable: our events and spaces should be safe and welcoming for everyone. We also care about sustainability—both in the sense of building traditions that last and in being mindful of how we use resources. Many of our initiatives tie into broader TDSB and Ontario goals around student well-being, community engagement, and civic participation.
How This Site Fits In
This website is a window into what SAC does. It is not the primary place for day-to-day announcements; the school’s own channels are. Here you will find an overview of our programs, information about events, how to get involved in our community, and how to contact us or the school. We keep the content updated when we have new information to share. For the most current details—dates, times, sign-ups—always refer to Earl Haig’s main site and in-school communications.
