Topic: Selwyn House School


  
  Selwyn House School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Selwyn House School is a prestigious independent boys school in Montréal, Quebec, founded in 1906 by Englishman Captain Algernon Lucas.
Scandal hit the school in September 2005, when a former student launched a lawsuit claiming that he had been sexually abused by a former teacher, Leigh Seville, during the 1970s.
The current administration at Selwyn House has no connection with the events in question, as they occurred well before current Headmaster William Mitchell took his position, in 1984.

 Dictionary of Australian Biography Sa-Sp
He re-entered the house as a nationalist candidate in 1930, and was minister for mines and railways in the Mitchell government until 1933.
His health compelled his frequent absence from debates, but he was still a power in the house, and his speech against the proposal of the Peacock (q.v.) government that there should be a convention to consider the reform of the Victorian parliament, was largely responsible for it being laid aside.
He was educated at schools at Ickham and Wingham, and also had private tuition from the Rev. Mr Midgley, M.A. He went to Sydney in 1883 for health reasons, and in 1884 obtained a semi-scientific position on the staff of the Sydney technological museum.

So why not scout a prep school game where 100% of the participants are in college preparatory programs and will likely attend college as opposed to the public school game where only 20% to 40% will attend college or the midget game where 10% to 20% may attend college.
Though the quality of hockey is excellent, prep schools have long encouraged a wide range of athletic participation for a young person so that he or she has the opportunity to develop and test many skills and grow through a variety of experiences in several sports.
Many are boarding schools, where students reside on the campus in dormitories, much the same as a university, and some are day schools, where students return home to their families each evening.

 Curriculum Vitae: Lisbeth Clemens
For most of my adult life I have been involved with school libraries: as a school librarian (Australia), as a teacher (England), and as a school librarian and a parent volunteer, (Canada).
In recent years I have twice been Acting Head Librarian at Selwyn House School (Montreal), replacing the Head Librarian while she was on leave, eventually taking on that position after her retirement.
Ten years experience working in schools in Australia and England (where I also put together a collection of children's poetry), and sixteen years experience as a parent involved in schools in Canada, has given me a wide knowledge of both the literature and non-fiction available for children, in English and French.
