The Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) is proud to announce the election of two new student trustees for the 2016-2017 school year.

For the Algoma and Manitoulin Districts, Megan Spooner, a grade 11 student at École secondaire Notre-Dame-du-Sault (Sault Ste. Marie), will pursue a second term in this position. As for the Sudbury District, France Courtemanche, a grade 11 student at Collège Notre-Dame (Sudbury), will follow in Kevin Powell’s footsteps. Megan and Kevin will begin their new one-year mandate on August 1, 2016.

“We congratulate all the candidates who submitted their candidacy as well as those who participated in the selection committee,” states Mr. André Bidal, President of the CSCNO. “Our two student trustees hold an important role in the promotion of French Catholic Education and are a veritable asset to our Board in sharing student concerns.”

“I have full confidence that Megan and France will fulfill their duties as student representatives for the Board as well as the Board’s Student Senate,” adds Mrs. Lyse-Anne Papineau, Director of Education for the CSCNO. “We are proud of the fact that our students recognize the importance of this role as well as the incredible opportunity it offers them in developing their Catholic and Francophone leadership in their own school and their community.”
