Prior to 2006, the area currently administered by Sun West included six school divisions. These were Kindersley, Rosetown, Eston-Elrose, Outlook, Davidson and Biggar School Divisions. on January 1, 2006, these six legacy divisions were combined to form the Sun West School Division as part of the provincial government's re-structuring of rural school divisions in Saskatchewan.
The Sun West Division office is located in Rosetown, Saskatchewan at 501-1st Street West.[3]
The School Division administers 39 schools; of these 14 are Kindergarten to Grade 12 schools, 7 are elementary schools, 3 are high schools and 15 are Hutterite Colony Schools.
Enrollment in Sun West Schools on August 27, 2008, was 4,554 students.
Approximately 800 people work for the Sun West School Division on a permanent full or part-time basis with several hundred more employed occasionally as substitute teachers or spare bus drivers.
