REPRESENTING BH GIRLS AT HEADS & CHAIRS CONFERENCE
By Rachael Buchwald '18, Head Girl
Jessica Sui (Grade 11) and I had the incredible opportunity to represent Balmoral Hall on a student panel at the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS) Heads & Chairs conference in Winnipeg from October 15–17, 2017. We were joined by two students each from Gray Academy and St. John's-Ravenscourt. As panelists, our role was to share insights regarding independent schooling.
I was excited for the opportunity to state my opinions, along with those of other independent school students.
One of the main issues we discussed was the importance of having a balanced student life. This is something we all strive for, and it is fairly difficult to achieve. We also spoke about the value of career and university guidance.
Even though the six of us attend three different schools, many of our values regarding education, perspectives on independent schooling, and thoughts about our educational experience were similar.
It was a pleasure to represent BH girls at this national conference.
