There is a leadership opportunity for Grade 10 students being offered through the Central Ontario Leadership Seminar (COLS). Based on an application process here at IRHS, one grade 10 student can be selected to attend a three-day event from May 27th – 29th, 2017. The event is held at University of Toronto, Mississauga. All expenses, except for transportation to and from the site, are paid for by sponsoring community clubs, corporate sponsors, and individual philanthropists. Additional details will follow.
The goals of COLS are:
- Encourage and prepare the next generation of Canada's civic, social and corporate leaders.
- Provide young leaders with forums to learn "how" to think, not "what" to think, by offering independent and interactive opportunities for critical thinking.
- Encourage personal growth by promoting positive thinking, goal setting and community involvement.
Feel free to visit their website at: www.cols.ca
The application process includes a short essay on the following question: “People change just like the seasons. Describe a small or big change that has left a positive impact on you and why?”
Prior to Friday, February 10th, please compose a 75-100 word answer to that question and share it with Mr. Pearce and Ms Patterson, and a commitment for the weekend of May 27-29th. A candidate will be selected from the submitted applications at that time. Those not selected may have an opportunity to take part in a one day COLS seminar in the spring entitled “Promoting Leadership Among Youth” Day..
Should you have any questions please feel free to ask.
