Nova Scotia Secondary School Students' Association

The Nova Scotia Secondary School Students' Association is a non-profit organization run for the benefit of students across Nova Scotia. The organization is run by student leaders and focuses on leadership development at the high school level. Every high school student is a member of the N.S.S.S.A whether they've attended an event or not. The organization promotes communication among the students in Nova Scotia. Throughout the year there will be events such as fundraisers, six two-day regional high school conferences for students grades 10-12, six one-day regional Jr. high school conferences for students grades 7-9, a one-day Inclusion conference for students with special needs, and a four-day provincial conference. These are just to name a few.

Our Mission Statement

To promote servant leadership in a safe heroic environment through motivation, inspiration, and demonstration by developing life skills.

History of the Organization

In 1986, Cameron Morrison, the Student Government Advisor at Halifax West High School, along with Andrew Demond (former president of Sights and Sounds Productions) had a vision for an organization in Nova Scotia run by students. In 1992, the N.S.S.S.A was officially registered with the "Joint Stock Companies" under the direction of Mark Fraser at Halifax West.

Through hard work and dedication the goal of a provincial conference was achieved. L.I.N.K.'92 (Leadership In Nova Scotia Kicks) was a success and 16 other conferences followed:

S.L.I.C.E. '93 (Student Leadership In Constant Evolution)
W.E.T. '94 (We Excel Together)

B.E.Y.O.N.D. '10 (Bringing Enthusiastic Youth Opportunities and New Directions.)

In 2005 a provincial conference for students with special needs was introduced to the organization which is referred to as the inclusion conference. This conference was called G.O.A.L. ’05 (Great Opportunities for Achievement & Learning), and has been followed by 5 other conferences:
