The Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) took great pride in welcoming it two new student trustees for the 2015-2016 school year during its September 29 meeting.

Megan Spooner, a grade 10 student at École secondaire Notre-Dame-du-Sault (Sault Ste. Marie), will represent Algoma and Manitoulin Districts students. As for the Sudbury District, Kevin Powell, a grade 11 student at École secondaire catholique l’Horizon (Val Caron), will also serve as a student trustee.

“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,” states Mr. André Bidal, President of the CSCNO.

“I have full confidence that Megan and Kevin 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.”

The Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario offers a French Catholic Educational Program that is widely recognized for its excellence. The CSCNO provides a quality learning environment and academic program that runs from early childhood to adult education, with some 7,000 students in 27 elementary and 10 secondary schools.
