Journey to Leadership
Sister Joan Cronin, Executive Director of Ontario's Institute for Catholic Education (ICE), facilitated a session for the Journey to Leadership candidates of the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board.  Twelve elementary and secondary teachers have chosen to explore and discern their call to Catholic educational leadership through the Journey to Leadership program.  This year-long, three-module program is designed to acquaint teachers with the skills of Catholic leadership, and to help the candidates develop their leadership skills.  Sister Joan's session dealt with leadership from a Catholic perspective.

Graduate Success Stories - Tony Pook
Tony Pook never wanted a desk job. After completing a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Guelph, he caught the travel bug and headed to Australia to study deep sea diving. Working contract to contract, he had a chance to travel the world and eventually landed back in Canada for diving job on the hydro dams in Ottawa, ON. Commercial diving gave Tony plenty of time to pursue other avenues, including launching his own company, based on the “Pook Toques” that shape on the family sewing machine.

He says his faith-based education has helped him uncover the path to success. “At Holy Name of Mary School, growing up in the Catholic system was definitely a benefit.
