Kayleigh Jeanveau, a Grade 12 student at Lockerby Composite School, has been accepted into the prestigious Page Program in Ottawa. Kayleigh is graduating this June, following four years of study in the Science Techology Education Program (STEP).
Approximately 40 new Pages a year are accepted into the program from across Canada.
To be considered, Kayleigh completed an in-depth application process that began in the fall and included many stages of interviews. As part of the application, she was required to write an essay and conduct an interview to demonstrate bilingual skills.
According to ourcommons.ca, as a Page, Kayleigh will " work in the House of Commons Chamber and provide various services to Members of Parliament, the Speaker and Chair Occupants, and Table Officers. Professional, impartial, and efficient service is a hallmark of the House of Commons Page Program."
This fall, Kayleigh will pursue an Honours Bachelor of Commerce with a specialization in Marketing at the University of Ottawa. She believes that the ties between politics and business will definitely serve her well as she looks to the future.
She added: "I certainly would not have obtained the position without the guidance of my parents and support of many teachers".
"Lockerby Composite School wishes Kayleigh Jeanveau all the best as she steps into this exciting new chapter of her life," says Principal Craig Runciman. "We are very proud of her."
