Two St. Clair Catholic secondary school students – one from St. Patrick’s Catholic High School and one from Ursuline College Chatham – have been elected to serve as Student Trustees for the 2014-2015 school year.
Christopher Anthony, a Grade 11 student from St. Patrick’s, will represent students in Sarnia-Lambton; and Katie Shillington, who is in Grade 11 at UCC, will represent students in Chatham-Kent.
In order to be eligible, students must be Catholic, enrolled full-time in at least Grade 11, have access to transportation to attend meetings and have a record of good attendance.
“Both Christopher and Katie are fine student leaders, who have been very involved in their school communities throughout their high school careers,” says Ann Sutton, Superintendent of Education.
“We know these young leaders will make excellent Student Trustees and look forward to their reports beginning next fall,” says Deb Crawford, Superintendent of Education.
“On behalf of the Board, I want to congratulate Christopher and Katie on their success in being elected to serve as Student Trustee and to welcome them to the Board table,” says Dan Parr, Director of Education.
The Board of Trustees passed a motion tonight which recognizes the student elections and appoints the Student Trustees for the 2014-2015 term.
