Annual General Meeting of Electors

The AGM took place on Thursday, March 14, 2013 at the Yorkton Regional High School with over 60 attendees. Prior to the meeting, all were invited to take a tour of the Promethean ActivBus displaying the 21st century classroom including many new and interesting technological advances for students.

A presentation by the YRHS Mobile Robotics team, gold medal winners from Skills Americas competition in November, 2012, was very well received. They explained their journey to gold going on to talk about their preparations for international competion in July, 2013 in Leipzig, Germany. They concluded with a demonstration of the robotino performing tasks they programmed...amazing!

The evening presentations also included the Board Chair report, the Superintendent of Business Administration Financial Report and the Director of Education's Operations Report. The Annual Report as well as the 2011/2012 Audited Financial Statement are also available for review. A large amount of information to share!
