Link Crew
Link Crew
Link Crew is a leadership program offered in some high schools. OTLC is offering it for the first time in the year 2009/2010. The program allows the school to choose senior students to be linked with grade 9 students throughout the year. The Link Leaders help the grade 9’s get involved by informing them about the activities put on by the school. These students also help to bridge the gap between seniors and the rest of the school, when the younger students may feel like they don’t belong. The leaders are a positive role model for the grade 9’s during the important transition from middle school to high school.
Throughout the year, the link leaders are encouraged to continue to connect with the grade 9’s. They may teach time management, conflict resolution or character education lessons, instruct on how to use school resources or attend social events.
The intention of the program is to increase grade 9 success which is shown through attendance, academic success and discipline.
