Grade 9 Election Results

Hi, I'm Mattea Kott and I am one of the DVSS Grade 9 Student Council Reps. My feeder school was Spencer Valley, my mom works there, my brother goes there, and my friends went there. Although incredibly cheesy, it was my home. I grew up there, some of the biggest changes in my life so far happened when I was there. I want DVSS to be my next home. As of right now, I have been at Dundas Valley for less than a month and have more than three years to go. My dad is a high school teacher, he told me that grade 9 was the worst year. He also said that every year gets better. You find your friends, you make memories, and learn from your mistakes. I know grade 9 is the most difficult year but, I still want it to be an amazing year. I want to be a part of helping people and I'd like to make a difference in the school. Not right now, but eventually. Even though grade 9 is going to be tough, I still want it to be a remarkable year for everyone.

Hi, I'm Ella Cockburn and I came from Sir William Osler School. I am one of the Grade 9 representatives on Student Council at DVSS this year. I'm really looking forward to seeing what this year brings for each us; getting to know more people and making new friends as well as all the new opportunities. Last year, I was involved in several different leadership programs, student events and fundraising initiatives. Through events like Laces for Life, Mental Health week, and school dances, etc, I have gained valuable experience in leadership and collaboration, which will help me as your grade 9 representative. 4 years sounds like a really long time but it will fly by and I believe that we should make the most of it and create countless memories. I want to be involved in making high school great for everyone by helping to throw as many events and make them as fun as possible. It's important we all have a say in everything that goes on and I want to make sure everyone has put as much input into things as they'd like. I want to accommodate everyones opinions and try to make all of your ideas become a reality. I will make sure everyone of you has a voice and can give as many ideas to build this school to its highest potential.
