The recently completed Staff Association convention was an unqualified success. For this, we must thank the Convention Committee, made up of Sue Wenaas, Lois Robb, Larry Frandle, Mike Minard, Dawn Scott, Ann Craig, Dorothy Galanov, Carol Binder, Dara Oosterlee, Lynn Robbins and Kim Sahota for the many hours and hard work that they put into the organization of this event. A big thank you also goes out to the staff and the Leadership and Crew students at Centennial High School for all of their help in both the set up and troubleshooting during the convention.
The opening remarks by our Chief Superintendent, Naomi Johnson set a very positive tone for the two days and reflected her commitment to a working relationship with our membership based on trust and respect. We had a very exciting keynote speaker in John Simmons, whose topic, The Power of Humour, was both highly informative and entertaining. For more information on John Simmon’s workshops and books, please visit his website at www.john-simmons.com. Attendance on both days was excellent and for the first time, sessions were held throughout Friday afternoon. The comments from our members and the displayers were very positive and the layout and facilities at Centennial High School allowed for easy access to sessions while at the same time, encouraging networking and informal gatherings.
We are pleased to announce that next year’s Staff Association Convention will once again be held at Centennial High School and we have many exciting new ideas to improve it even more. In preparation for next year’s convention, we invite all of you, our members, to send any suggestions you may have for topics and presenters to Sue Wenaas, Convention Coordinator by E-mail at sewenaas@staffassociation .ca or by phone at 403-242-7555 ext 3.
