The Federal Election
Students had their electoral
debate Thursday and participated in a StudentVote
election. The debate was filled with platform promises, speeches,
arguments, counter-arguments, and of course, a lot of passion!
The outcome of the StudentVote
election will be revealed publicly to media for broadcast on
election night, October 19th. Students will have the chance to see
how they voted but also how students voted across Canada.
Winnipeg
Symphony Orchestra
The WSO brass band came to Van
Walleghem! Students had a chance to learn about each instrument as well
as hear some talented musicians play their favorite pieces. What great
inspiration for this year in Band!

Canada.

excellent website:
