Leaders of Tomorrow Conference
Thursday April 15, 2010 - Friday April 16, 2010
Pretty River Academy is excited to be sponsoring the First Annual Leaders of Tomorrow Conference at our school. This exciting opportunity for Grade 7 & 8 students in Simcoe & Grey counties has been developed to help build strong leadership skills in students at the Intermediate level. Area schools are each being invited to send a small group of students to participate in the conference so that they may return to their schools and share these leadership experiences with their fellow students.
Interested students will be asked to provide a letter of reference from a teacher, principal or coach stating why they would be a good candidate for the conference, and to write a short essay which provides the following information:
- Your definition of leadership
- Your goals for the next 4 years
- How will you utilize the skills that you learn at this conference in the future
- Why you think you would like to participate in this conference
The conference will feature professional key note speakers as well as various workshops led by student leaders and professionals.
Some Workshop topics include:
- Listening and Communication Skills
- Teambuilding and Co-operation
- Inter-personal Relations
- Time Management and Goal Setting
- Nutrition and Healthy Active Living
- Innovative Thinking
