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 25th – 27th, 2018. 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: “Write about a time you had to think outside the box. How did you do it? What was the result?”
By Friday, February 16th, compose a 75-100 word answer to the question above and share it with Mr. Pearce. A candidate will be selected from the submitted applications shortly after that time.
Should you have any questions please feel free to ask.
