There’s a new Indigenous Student Trustee at the Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board (NPSC).
Bronte McLeod is a student at St. Joseph-Scollard Hall (SJSH) Catholic Secondary School, with officials saying he brings a strong voice and deep commitment to representing Indigenous students across the board.
McLeod was selected by his peers this spring through a process established by Mkwa Doodem, the Indigenous Student Advisory Group at SJSH.
“In his new role, Bronte will serve as a vital advocate for Indigenous students, working closely with fellow trustees, including Student Trustee Joy Akomah, as well as the NPSC Senior Administration team and his schoolmates to ensure Indigenous voices and perspectives continue to be represented at the board table,” states a release.
The board is also thanking outgoing Indigenous Student Trustee Cheyney Chevrier for her work over the past two years.
“Her thoughtful insights, unwavering dedication, and consistent representation of her peers have left a strong foundation upon which Bronte will continue to build,” states the board. “We wish her our prayerful best wishes and much continued success in her post-secondary pursuits.”
McLeod’s term runs from 2025-2027.
