The Students' Council is made up of students who are duly elected by the students of Bayview Secondary School. The Council is composed of: a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Public Affairs Officer, a Social Convenor, and an elected grade representative for each year.

Their role on Council is to represent and serve the students by organizing events that inform, educate, entertain, and thereby enrich the Bayview experience. The Council organizes school dances, a Semi-Formal, a Senior Prom, fund-raising activities, "Spirit" events, leadership conferences and assemblies. The Council has, in the past, through its fund-raising activities made charitable donations to York Central Hospital, the United Way, The Child Adoption Program, student bursaries and other worthy causes that have been brought to the Council's attention. The Council also contributes to improving many school facilities.

Each student is asked to purchase a student card to assist in supporting these worthy events and programs at Bayview. Participation in sports, clubs, dances, and many other events REQUIRES A STUDENT CARD as does eligibility for a transit pass and parking pass. The council then distributes funds from student card sales to school clubs and teams.
