Student Council President/ & Vice President Elections

Hello Grade 9, 10 and 11 students! Throughout the whole year many activities and nights have been organized and a lot of that is thanks to the student council. Now, it may be your chance to lead the student council and their activities as the President and Vice President!  If you have a partner in mind please come to the Councilors Office at 1:00 pm on Friday May 22nd for a brief meeting to discuss the process. Come by even if you are little interested, we can answer your questions. If you are running for president, you must have had at least one year of experience in student council. These roles are only for grade 10 and up (current grade 9 and up). For 8s and below, there will be plenty of opportunity to get involved in the new year as grade level reps. The actual elections will take place on Friday June 5th.

Sports Coach and Team Manager opportunities 2015-16

We will have a number of vacancies in the Athletics Program next year for coaches and assistant coach/team managers. These positions are open to all staff & parents. You do not necessarily have to be experienced in sport, a commitment to the students is the most important qualification. One season takes the place of an ASA. If you think you might be interested, please speak to me or email me and we can look at the options available. If you are unsure, talk to one of the many coaches from this year about their experience or come and have a chat with me. All positions come with at least one overnight travel opportunity.
