GDCI clubs start year successfully with dedication and hard work
After a whirlwind start to the 2009-
2010 school year, it's time to reflect on
all of the reasons why we all should be
very proud of the Goderich educational
community.
GDCI students continue to be a tre-
mendous group of involved and dedi-
cated young people. All of our fall
sports teams, field hockey, boys' vol-
leyball, girls' basketball, tennis, golf,
and cross-country running, have come
out of the gates in full stride with vic-
tories in league and tournament play.
Our school bands can be heard prac-
ticing early in the mornings as they
warm up for concerts, competitions
and visits to other schools. The GDCI
Drama Club is in full rehearsal mode
as it prepares to wow audiences with
its presentation of the musical, ."The
Boyfriend".
Student Council has planned and
pulled off a very successful Grade 9
Activity Day and Dance, and is plan-
ning the annual GDCI Walk-A-Thon
for Thursday, September 24. Many
more great activities are planned for
our students.
Our Hospitality classes are operating
the t'afeteria and this is proving to be
a very successful business venture for
them. The GDCI cafeteria has never
been busier!
The ever -professional GDCI staff
has helped welcome new and veteran
Viking students alike with their com-
mitment to extra -curricular activities as

well as excellent classroom lessons. We
welcome custodians Fred Shoemaker
and Sue Laughlin; EA's Amy Bakker,
Tamara Crocker, and Fanny Geleynse;
as well as teacher Mark Moore to the
staff of GDCI. 'From the principal's
point of view, GDCI has enjoyed an-
other wonderful start.
One aspect of life at GDCI that re-
ally deserves compliments is the inte-
gration of the Goderich Public School
Grade 7 and 8 classes into the building.
Students from both schools are coexist-
ing seamlessly. •
The GPS students are enjoying the
cafeteria and gymnasium facilities, as
well as the new recess area that has
been provided for them. Staff members
from both panels are sharing spaces
very successfully and I'm confident
that the experiences of all involved
will be very positive throughout the
school year.

I would like to thank the administra-
tion and staff of GPS in working so
openly with GDCI staff to make this
historic start a very successful one!
The GDCI Commencement is planned
for Friday, October 9 starting at 8 p.m.
in the west gym.
We're all looking forward to seeing
our most recent graduates return for the
evening so they can receive the recog-
nition they deserve, and so they can tell
us how well they're doing in their post-
secondary lives.
If any parents or students have ques-
tions, I encourage them to call the
school for help. As always, it promises
to be a great evening of celebration of
student success!
Parents of current students should
take note that we will be holding anoth-
er celebration of student achievement
that same morn-
ing. Students from
last year's Grade
9 -through -12 class-
es will be honoured
for academic suc-
cess in our second

assembly. Again,

have questions.
I would like to close by asking all
parents of GDCI students to consider
becoming part of the GDCI School
Advisory Council (SAC). Kimberley
Payne was the chairperson until she de-
parted Goderich late last school year.
Payne did a fantastic job, but her po-
sition is now vacant and I encourage
you to consider taking on that or an-
other role on the SAC. With the inte-
gration of GPS with GDCI, this prom-
ises to be an exciting time and parents
are absolutely key in helping determine
the future of the Goderich educational
community.
The first SAC meeting of the year
is planned for Wednesday, September
23 (yes, tonight!) at 6:30 p.m. in the
library at GDCI. I hope to see many of
you there!
