Next Step Magazine Ontario’s Super Teens January February 2004
In grades 8 and 9, Therese Devinka Paiva considered herself one of the quietest people at school. That changed with the encouragement of her family, friends and teachers. “I realized I was not alone, and people would be there to support me whether I won or lost,” she says. Now in grade 12, Devinka is student council president at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Toronto. “I have to be the voice of the students to parents, teachers and administration,” she says. Devinka, 16, also organizes school events, such as dances, school spirit events and volunteer activities. In grade 10, she helped organize a fund- raising event that raised more than $2,000 for children in Cameroon. Devinka plans to study science at university and become a pediatrician.

.Erin Lymer’s involvement in World Youth Day 2002 helped her grow in her faith. “Through this experience, I was able to meet fellow teens from around the globe who shared my beliefs,” says this 17-year-old grade 12 student at Michael Power/St. Joseph Catholic High School. That summer, she also learned about the different cultures and traditions of the people who descended on Toronto for the event. “This experience enhanced my awareness of the poverty and needs of those living in other countries, and was at the heart of my goal to travel around the world,” Erin says. In September, Erin was chosen as a counselor for her school’s grade 9 orientation. She was in charge of 13 campers, and used the experience to learn how to encourage people to take on new experiences. Erin wants to study health sciences or business.

VIOLENCE AWARENESS AND PREVETION PROGRAM
This past December marked the 14th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre. The community at St. Joseph’s College Catholic Secondary School renewed its commitment to raising awareness about the causes and effects of violence by hosting its fifth annual Violence Awareness and Prevention Program.
This year’s activities focused on recognizing and responding to bullying, developing effective anger and conflict management skills, understanding family violence, cultivating healthy relationships, and developing personal safety skills.
Under the direction of Josephine Lobo, Guidance Head, and Maria Buzdon, Child and Youth Worker, a comprehensive, experiential program examining violence from a social, familial, interpersonal, and intra-personal perspective was delivered. Students participated in forum theatre, interactive workshops, art activities, and heard personal testimonials from guest presenters. Dramatic displays were scattered throughout the school, including the silhouettes of and narratives from actual victims. These displays bore witness to the lives of these women.
The culminating activity for senior students was a full day conference “Spreading the Word – Sharing the Knowledge “, organized by Grade 12 youth leaders at Metro Hall. The central theme, “Personal Safety”, addressed the issues of dating violence and sexual assault. The conference involved many community partners including Catholic Family Services, Women’s College Hospital, Toronto Police Services, Metro Action Committee on Violence against Women and Children, Toronto Family and Immigration Law Office, and Women’s Habitat of Etobicoke.
Meanwhile, Grade 9 and 10 students participated in Violence Awareness and Prevention activities organized by the Empowering Student Partnerships committee and their teacher, Todd Visinski. These young women acted as facilitators for guest presentations and lead in-class workshops on conflict and anger management. The Empowering Student Partnerships (ESP) committee was also instrumental in setting up the various dramatic art displays throughout the school and organizing the visual presentation for the Day of Remembrance Memorial Service.
Preparations have already begun for next year’s Violence Awareness Week The success of the St. Joseph’s College School program has not only impacted on the immediate school community but has succeeded in inspiring others to introduce similar violence awareness activities in their own schools. We look forward to developing new innovative programs and sharing these initiatives with others!

History Fair at Francis Libermann
On Wednesday, December 3, 2003, Francis Libermann hosted its 5th annual grade 10 Canadian History Fair, organized by K. Dennis, C. Howe, P. Kennedy and J. Szala. This fair builds on research and presentation skills used in the elementary school fair. After several months of research and conferencing, the top two groups from each grade 10 class- enriched, academic and applied- went to the school finals in the Library. Guest judges from other board schools, as well as one from Leaside High School, helped to judge the projects. Topics included the CBC, Montreal Massacre, Quebec Referendum, Internment of Japanese-Canadians and Military Strategies in WWI. First place went to Kayla Williams, Jenna Garcia, Edward Lamson and Pablo Hernandez.
Francis Libermann History Fair Winners Visit Leaside
On Thursday, February 12, 2004, the top 8 groups from the Francis Libermann History Fair visited Leaside High School to compare their projects with those of their Leaside counterparts. Our students were accompanied by teachers, Elizabeth Polihronidis, Caroline Howe and Karen Dennis, as well as CAWS coordinator, John Ryall. Students from both schools presented a mini-version of their topics, exchanging presentation ideas and information. Leaside graciously provided us with lunch, gave all the participants certificates and presented the Libermann teachers with a plaque. Libermann will be hosting next year’s event.
A special thanks to Patricia Baker at Leaside High School for organizing the day, as well as to the principal, Heidi Gollert, for her hospitality.
