My Voice, My Future Student Voice Webinars (Grades 6-12)
It can be particularly challenging for students to become motivated to learn when the teaching and learning process for the school year is unsettled in the midst of COVID-19.

These webinars will help students develop the skills necessary to navigate the inevitable changes in their educational lives.
Whether students have attended the same school for years, are transitioning to a new school, or are beginning a year with online classes, the webinars are structured to engage students' voices in a thought-provoking way and help them reach their personal, social and academic potential.
