High school gears up for annual graduation ceremony
We at GDCI look forward to every op-
portunity to celebrate excellence. As each
athletic season ends, we are given the
chance to celebrate the annual successes
of our student athletes. Our drama and mu-
sic students return from their concerts and
competitions bringing with them accolades
and awards for the rest of the school to rec-
ognize and honor.
There are two celebrations coming on Fri-
day, October 9 that we really look forward
to. At 9 a.m. in the west gym, the staff and
students of GDCI will gather to celebrate
the top academic achievements of current
students who were in last year's Grades 9 -
12 classes. Each course's top achievers will
be recognized and presented with awards as
they cross the stage. All of us really enjoy
being able to provide these students with
the type of recognition that their hard work
deserves. Whereas it will be the morning
of a school day, we encourage the parents
of the recipients to attend so that they can
share in the celebration. Students who will
be receiving awards will know by Thurs-
day.
On Friday evening, it will be time to lift
Principal's Corner
the curtain on the 2009 GDCI Commence-
ment ceremony. This is our chance to be-
stow upon our most recent graduates the
honours, awards, and attention that their
achievements deserve. The staff and current
students look forward to the return of our
graduates ,bo that we can find out how their
post-GDCI lives are unfolding. We will
have about 130 graduating students in atten-
dance this year and I hope that each will be
able to bring a good
collection of family
members to share in
the celebration. The
curtain rises on the
celebration at 8 p.m.
in the west gym. The
doors open soon af-
ter 7 p.m. and while
you're here, take the
time to tour the halls.

You'll see some significant changes in the
front foyer and C -hall areas.
I'll close by reiterating a message 1 gave
a couple of weeks ago. The Ministry of
Education mandates that each school in
Ontario will have a School Advisory Coun-
cil (SAC), sometimes known as the Parent
Council. It is very common for parents to re-
duce their involvement in their kids' school
lives as they get into secondary schools,
but I would encourage all of you with chil-
dren attending GDCI to get involved with
our SAC. This is an exciting time to be in-
volved in the Goderich education commu-
nity and the people who have been around
the table in recent years have done won-
derful work. However, most have left the
group since their children have graduated,
so there is a need for new faces and new"en-
ergies to join us. The next meeting will be
a Regional one, with SAC groups from the
local elementary schools meeting together
to enjoy collaborative meetings and a won-
derful guest speaker on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
That will also be the date of the GDCI Par-
ent Interview Night, so many of you would
be here anyway. Why not sit in on the SAC
meeting at 6 p.m. to see how it feels. I hope
I'll see you here!
