Dean of Students – I am pleased to announce that we have a new Dean of Students for September 2014. Her name is Ms. Shauna Wall and she has been teaching at Lower Canada College in Montreal for the last nine years. She did her undergraduate degree in science at Dalhousie University, her education degree at McGill and her M.Ed. at Acadia. She is looking forward to coming to Sacred Heart and she and Mrs. Drummond will be meeting and communicating over the next few months to make for a smooth transition. Ms. Wall will be here this week-end with LCC students for the Donahoe Cup.

Executive elections are next week and I wish all the candidates the best of luck. I encourage students to think about running for class representative. Nomination forms will be available from Mrs. Drummond.
