Student Census

See Yourself in Limestone Student Census 2025

The Limestone District School Board (LDSB) is committed to equity, inclusion, and ensuring everyone feels a strong sense of belonging. LDSB is excited to announce the 2025 See Yourself in Limestone Student Census. This important initiative aims to learn more about students' identities, academic achievement, and their experiences at school. By understanding more about the unique backgrounds, experiences, and needs of students, we can create a more inclusive and supportive educational environment for everyone.

Importance of student participation

Student participation in the census is deeply appreciated. By taking part, students help us:

• Promote equity: ensure that schools offer equal opportunities to all students.
• Enhance support: develop targeted support systems that embrace the diverse learning styles of the student community.
• Inform decision-making: provide data that informs policy and decision-making, leading to better outcomes for all students.

The See Yourself in Limestone Student Census 2025 will be taking place in November. We invite all students to take part in the Student Census. Your voice matters, and together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive school community.
