加拿大国际儿童艺术节共同主席:JOE SANTALUCIA
Joe Santalucia was born in Siculiana, Italy. He moved to Canada with his family at an early age and pursued all of his post- secondary studies at the University of Toronto. He earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1980, his Bachelor of Education and Ontario Teacher Certificate in 1981; and his Master of Education in 1986. Influenced by his elementary teacher and university professors, he has instilled in his students a strong belief that “we must get along with each other” and that getting a good education is not only important but necessary in today’s ever expanding “global village”.
Mr. Santalucia began his teaching career with the Toronto Catholic District School Board where he distinguished himself serving as a Guidance Counsellor and Department Head for over 20 years. He was promoted to Vice Principal in 2002 by the Toronto District School Board and after three years was promoted to serve as Principal for the next eight years. He retired from public education after serving as Principal of both an AP and IB schools. He currently is serving as Principal of Marco Polo Academy, an International Private School in Toronto. For the last eight years he has travelled to China where he was a guest speaker at an Educational Forum and to gain a better appreciation and understanding of the culture and its people.
During his years as an educator, his proudest moments have been the opportunity to work with many caring colleagues to ensure that all students were instilled with a desire to learn and to strive for excellence in life and academics. As an administrator and counsellor, he has worked with students of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds while supporting them to work through family, learning and life challenges. This commitment to access of opportunity and service was demonstrated with his involvement in committee work with both District School Boards as well as being a member of The Equity Team with the Ontario Principal Council. He also has made numerous presentations and been involved in curriculum writing projects. He has always been a strong voice for students and their well-being.
