CSLC Parent Information Night – Monday, June 19th

As you may already know, SJAM was chosen as the host school for the 2017 Canadian Student Leadership Conference (CSLC), coming to Waterloo this September!  SJAM’s staff administration and staff, along with all the WRDSB high schools, are delighted to welcome this nation-wide student conference.  

With such a major event coming to SJAM, we will be altering our timetable for 4 days to accommodate over 1,200 student leaders and teachers from across the country.  We believe the rich opportunity and lasting legacy of the conference will be worth this disruption.
