The Student Achievement Awards is a writing and creative arts competition, which is open to all public secondary school students in Ontario.  There are eleven categories and eleven prizes of $1000 each.  

​

Each year there is a new theme and some members in English and Art departments incorporate this opportunity into a class project, allowing the students to peer-review and select a class winner.  If you have any questions about this opportunity, please reach out to your school CPAC representative, the District 16 T/OT CPAC chair, or check out the OSSTF provincial resources for student achievement awards.

This years theme is: Is Anyone Out There?

This years deadline for submissions to be into the District 16 Office is November 15th, 2024.
