On Sept. 19 – 20, the junior high leadership retreat was hosted at Altario School. There were nine schools participating with 190 students in attendance.
Each school team was immersed in strategies of leadership and tasked with the development of a school based project to implement within their school over the course of the year.
The retreat was very positive and a great way to start the year with the junior high students from across the division.
The retreat will be held at Berry Creek Community School next fall.
Premier’s Award nomination – Radio Hanna
Radio Hanna representatives Sean and Jennifer McCormick along with Nathan Limpert (J.C. Charyk student), presented to the Board on the Radio Hanna program.
Radio Hanna would like to differentiate the schools in PLRD #25, from schools elsewhere in the province, and make our school communities an attractive place for students desiring a technologically advanced education that imparts superior communication skills.
Over the course of the 2016-2017 school year, Radio Hanna will become an integral program in each of our school communities.
Radio Hanna will be broadcasting at the division professional development day to be held on Sept. 30 at J.C. Charyk Hanna School.
