Let the Celebrations Begin!

Last Friday, our Personal Career Counselling Team (PCC) hosted our bi-annual, Luncheon of Champions. Thus began our year-end celebrations of student recognition. Many students, staff, parents and caregivers attended as we spoke to the many accomplishments of our nominated students. Our "champions" stood out and made a difference in our classrooms, in our school community and beyond our school community. Some of the common characteristics attributed to our student winners were perseverance, committment and leading by example.We are very proud of these students who are exemplary role models for others to aspire to! Thanks to our PCC Team, Nancy Anstett, Georgina Cook, Rachel Stecca, Melanie Spelman, and Kris Reeve for hosting a wonderful luncheon and celebration that is definitely a highlight in each of our semesters.Well done!
