Jean-Luc Bernard, OCT

Jean-Luc Bernard, OCT

Teacher and administrator Jean-Luc Bernard has been appointed by the provincial government as a public representative on the College Council.

Bernard worked in French-language education for more than 30 years. He was Director of Education at the Viamonde SB from 2002 to 2010. Bernard began his career as a teacher, a position he held for nearly 10 years.

He was named Superintendent of Education for the Metropolitan Toronto French-Language School Council (MTFLSC) in August 1994.

When the MTFLSC was replaced by the Viamonde SB in January 1998, Bernard stayed on as Superintendent of Education. His responsibilities included providing student services as well as supporting educational services.

“I am very pleased to have been selected, for I believe the College does excellent work in supporting teachers in the interest of the public. My involvement in local, provincial and Canada-wide committees has given me a broad perspective, which I hope will be beneficial to the College Council.”

Bernard holds a Master’s degree in Education and Bachelor’s degrees in Education and Sociology from the University of Ottawa. He is qualified as a principal and a supervisory officer. Jean-Luc Bernard is appointed to Council for a three-year term. His registration number is 172090.
