E.C. McTavish Awards
2007 McTavish Award Recipients
In 1973 the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation in London, established the E.C. McTavish Award in memory of the late Ernie McTavish. We are pleased to carry on Mr. McTavish’s fine ideals within the Thames Valley Secondary Schools.
One of the major aims of this achievement recognition program is to reward those students who best exemplify the philosophy of the educational system in which they are a part. In this particular case, the basic philosophy of our educational system is to enable each student to attain the maximum development of his/her whole person; that is the physical, mental, emotional, social and moral sides of an individual’s behaviour.
Objectives of the Award
- To recognize outstanding individuals in the area Secondary Schools, who have faced obstacles in their path and have overcome these challenges.
- To promote the idea of freedom with responsibility.
- To increase interest in the concept of well-rounded education.
- To perpetuate the name of Mr. McTavish and the excellence of his work in education.
The winner from each Secondary School receives a Chapters gift certificate, a framed certificate, a memento package, and a group photograph. This year's winners were honoured at an Awards Dinner on Thursday April 26, 2007 at Sir George Ross Secondary School.
