Trustees for the Sudbury Catholic District School presented students with Awards of Recognition at its first Board meeting marking the start of a new school year.

Paula Peroni, Chair of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board presented Steve Masse, a Grade 12 student at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School with a token of appreciation for his role as the Board’s Student Representative for the 2005-06 school year.

In addition, Alex Gagnon and Christopher Masson were presented with Awards of Recognition for their excellent achievements in the Sudbury Catholic District School Board’s OYAP/COOP Program. Alex designed and developed the Experiential Learning poster and logo which depicts the tree of lifelong learning.

His co-op placement at the advertising agency of Thompson, Tremblay and Cooper under the supervision of Mr. Dave Cooper was a tremendous learning experience for him. This experience will be a great asset as he pursues his post-secondary studies in Graphic Arts at Cambrian College this fall.

Christopher Masson, under the mentorship of Mr. Lynden Baxter, competed at the Ontario Skills Competition in Kitchener last May and earned a bronze medal in the mechanical CADD competition. Christopher is also a co-op student at Hatch Engineering, he will be studying Civil Engineering at Cambrian College this year.
