This years theme is
THE RIGHT TO SPEAK THE RESPONSIBILITY TO LISTEN
The Student Achievement Awards is a writing and creative arts competition which is open to all public secondary school students in Ontario. The competition is meant to encourage the intellectual development of our students and an interest in society. The 1984 Provincial Assembly established the awards in honour of Marion Drysdale, a secretary at OSSTF/FEESO Provincial Office for twenty-two years, for her dedicated work over so many years.
OSSTF/FEESO invites student writers and artists to submit creative work exploring this year’s theme: The right to speak, the responsibility to listen.
Judging will be held at the school, District, Regional and Provincial levels. Eight provincial winners will be awarded $1000 each in prizes and will be invited to our Annual General Meeting in March where a video showcasing their work will be screened.
Entry Procedures
Students—submit an entry, as well as the appropriate entry form, to your sponsoring teachers in one of the divisions and categories listed.

Excellence In Education Representative or Branch President from each school —select one entry per category to submit to the District 16 office no later than November 25, 2011.

Once submitted to the Provincial Office, District winners will be judged at a regional level and then Provincial level.
