LCHS Students Bring Home Gold & Silver Medals from SKILLS Canada
Every year, the SKILLS Canada brings together over 550 young people from all regions of Canada, along with their parents and advisors, to compete in over 40 trade and technology areas. The Competition provides an opportunity for young Canadians studying a skilled trade or technology to be tested against exacting standards and against their peers from across the nation. Students vie to win the honour of being crowned the best in their chosen discipline. Students qualify for this national competition by competing at regional and provincial SKILLS competions. The
GOLD medal winners at these levels move on to compete with Canada's finest at the SKILLS Canada national competition.
Congratulatons to our own Carson Gustafson who won the GOLD medal in Mechanical CADD and to Evan Latos who won SILVER in Architectural CADD. Under the direction of LCHS Drafting Instructor Don Yusep, LCHS has once again produced some of the finest young talent in Canada.

Alberta Provincial Skills Competitions
Students are now preparing for the Alberta Skills Competions in Edmonton on May 10th and 11th. The Provincial Skills Canada Competition (PSCC) features high school and post-secondary students from across Alberta, competing in trade and technical events. The competition areas range from autobody repair to welding, graphic design to baking. During the two-day competition, each student specializes in one event area and must complete a project that has been designed by experts in that field.
Excellence in Teaching Award
Over the years parents and students have thanked teachers during and at the end of the school year for the excellent work they have done. In an effort to acknowledge our teachers and provide an opportunity for parents and students to celebrate their teachers, the Lloydminster Public School Division has created the LPSD Excellence in Teaching Award.
Parents and students wishing to nominate their teacher may do so in writing or via email to the Director of Education by May 30 of the current school year. Parents and students are asked to highlight the actions and contributions by their teacher that have made a difference and served as an exemplar of excellence in teaching. Teachers will be recognized publicly by the Board of Education at the opening ceremonies of each school year and through local media. Portions of the written submissions will be used to capture the essence of the nomination for the teacher and to celebrate his or her accomplishments.
For more information please contact Dr. Michael Diachuk, Director of Education at Lloydminster Public School Division at 780 875 5541.
Please forward your nominations to michael.diachuk@lpsd.ca. via email or mail it to the address below:
Our school has made a commitment to adopt and support a “school” of 50 children in Malawi, Africa. We are just starting our second year! Many of these children are suffering the loss of one or two parents due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Our funding can support these children with basic healthcare, education, and food security. This is done through the Hands At Work In Africa Organization in which volunteers mentor the community members in learning to care for their own children.
