The Northwest Catholic District School Board is proud to give out its Grade 8 Leadership awards for the 2007-08 school year.
The Grade 8 Leadership awards are awarded based on the following criteria: •The student must be a confirmed Catholic student who participates regularly in liturgical celebrations and sacraments and must be an effective communicator, who speaks, writes and listens honestly and sensitively, responding in light of gospel values.
•The student is a reflective thinker who solves problems and makes responsible decisions with an informed moral conscience.
•This young person is a motivated learner who develops and demonstrates his/her potential.
