OMLTA Fall Conference - Logo Competition

We’re looking for some creativity in designing a logo for our Ontario Modern LanguageTeachers Fall Conference which will be co-sponsored by the Avon Maitland District School Board and the Huron Perth Catholic District School Board and hosted at Stratford Northwestern Secondary School and St Michael Catholic Secondary School on October 17 and 18, 2008.

The theme is:

       Languages at Centre Stage                     Les langues en vedette

Please have any entry graphics sent to Heather Henke, Stratford Central SS or Lynnette McLeod, St Michael CSS.  The graphic should be done in black and white and saved as a jpg.  Be sure to include the name, grade, and school of the student who developed it. 

All entries should be submitted by March 25

The winning student’s name will be published in our program which will be seen throughout the province.  The student will also be presented with an honorarium of $100.   We thank you in advance for your participation.

*Acceptance of the $100 honorarium grants the conference, organizers, and host Boards exclusive use of the design for all purposes associated with the event before, during and after the event.

Student Senator

This year I have had the opportunity not only to be one of the co student council presidents but I am also the student senator for DCVI. Being the DCVI student senator I have had the chance to meet with other senators from around Avon Maitland and discuss what we do at our various schools. It has been a great privledge to work with these people. I have learned what other schools do on a regular basis and what sort of spirit events they have done. I also learned some of the not so good stuff from the other schools. Don't worry I've said good things about DCVI.

The 2008/2009 student senators need to be selected by April 8th. Application forms will be available in the office after the March Break. Applications will be due on March 28th and campaigning will begin on March 31st. The school will vote on April 4 to select the candidate they want to represent DCVI as their student senator. The chosen candidate is invited to the board meeting on April 8 in Seaforth to meet with the other student senators to decide who the student trustees are.

Any student who will be in either grade eleven or twelve next year is elligable to run. You must also be taking at least six credits next year in order to be elligable. Being student senator is a great honour and it will look good on applications for jobs or post-secondary education applications. Do not be afraid to run. This is a chance to really make an impact at school and for other people. Elections for other executive student council positions will begin around mid April. Any questions please feel free to ask me.
