Maegan Davies, who attends school at Holy Rosary High School, was named to the 2026-27 council by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education.
She is one of 12 students in Grades 11 and 12 from across the province who will meet with Education Minister Everett Hindley and ministry officials to offer feedback on curriculum, policy and programs.
“Each year, the Youth Council features student leaders from across Saskatchewan,” said Hindley. “I look forward to hearing directly from them on how we can best serve our students.”
The Ministry of Education announced the full council roster Sept. 22.
Members include students from divisions across the province: Emma Durocher from Ile-a-la-Crosse School Division, Ethan Lepage from Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools, Idabelle Llorente Roque from Northern Lights School Division, Keaton Doud from Prairie Valley School Division, Kendyl Wilson from Northwest School Division, Mikeilah Magnaye from North East School Division, Rochelle Berhe from Saskatchewan Distance Learning Centre, Surasha Ranjith from an independent school, Tim Malyi from South East Cornerstone Public School Division, Toshani Sharma from Saskatoon Public Schools, and Tristin Nameirakpam from Regina Catholic School Division.
“Change starts with a conversation, and I am proud to take part in that conversation,” Llorente Roque said in the release. “I am so grateful to have the opportunity to learn from others, share students’ perspective and turn it into meaningful discussion.”
Established in 2019, the Youth Council gives students aged 16 and older a platform to advise the Ministry of Education. Each year, provincial school divisions and eligible schools nominate student candidates.
