National Student Commonwealth Forum:
Imagine a hundred or more young minds from every region of Canada coming together to explore global issues and to participate in a unique learning experience. Imagine these students from all walks of life, discussing current national and international concerns. Imagine them working together to reach consensus in their vision for a better tomorrow.
The National Student Commonwealth Forum is a week-long program of discussion, brainstorming, role playing, and learning: learning about different cultures, countries, institutions, and contemporary issues. Through formal and informal events, the delegates are encouraged to express their views about issues facing Canadian youth, Canada, and the world.
Based in Ottawa, delegates travelling from outside the National Capital Region are billeted in homes of local families. Contributions towards travel costs have enabled the forum to include students from all provinces and territories.
The theme for this year is "Migration and Citizenship." The dates for the forum are Sunday, May 3rd to Friday, May 8th. The deadline to apply is February 15th. For more information, contact Mr. Donovan in Student Services.
Late Policy:
Three Oaks has introduced a new late policy scheduled to begin the first day of the second semester. The following is the policy:
A "Late" is defined as entering a class following the late bell or being unprepared for class and unable to return with the necessary materials before the second bell which begins class (late bell). A "late" is excused if a note is presented regarding a special appointment or a school sponsored activity.
If a student shows up late, the subject teach will inform them they are late and record it. When a student reaches their 3rd late, the student will be assigned a 10 minute detention with the subject teacher. If a 4th, 5th or 6th late should occur, the student will be assigned a 30 minute detention to be served at lunchtime in the detention room. For each late after 6, a student will be assigned a one hour detention to be served over two lunch hours in the detention room.
Students must bring material with them to work on to be admitted to the detention room. There will be no food or drink allowed in the detention room.
Upcoming Dates:
February 2nd Turn Around Day, no classes.
February 3rd First day of Semester 2
February 9th Islander Day, no classes
