Miss Hoskins & Ms. Evan’s foods classes made orange shirt day cookies on Sept. 30th. The students worked hard and powered through a difficult lab to spread the “Orange Shirt Day” message to the school.
International Student Program (ISP)
Our ISP department hosted a “Meet, Greet and Welcome” activity which brought together students from GISP, AVID 10 and AVID 12 to welcome our International students to our school community. Students engaged in a team building exercise that asked them to create an outfit using only newspaper and one strip of masking tape. They were also asked to include the colour orange to highlight the importance of Orange Shirt Day in our District and across the Canada. The event ended with a fashion show. More than 200 students participated in this event and everyone had a great time!
