The multi-purpose room of the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre was buzzing with excitement as students from across all of HPEDSB's secondary schools gathered on Wednesday, April 30 for the spring 2025 Student Voice Symposium.
Organized by the 2024-2025 Student Trustees, Julia Cranshaw, Alisha Makkar and Matthew Shalla, the day included an AI information session, sharing of school Student Voice initiatives and time for reflection. Katherine MacIver, Director of Education and Dr. Kari Kramp, Chair of the Board both brought greetings.
A highlight of the day was the election of Student Trustees for the 2025-2026 school year. Nominees were given an opportunity to present, followed by a student vote. Congratulations to the newly elected Student Trustees: Audrey Maracle (Indigenous Student Trustee, Prince Edward Collegiate Institute), Thomas Rice (Prince Edward Collegiate Institute) and Maria Nash (Centennial Secondary School). The new Student Trustees will be formally introduced at the May public Board meeting and officially sworn in at the September meeting.
