Exploring Career Opportunities at the Skilled Trades Expo!
Our students took a big step toward shaping their future! The students visited the Skilled Trades Expo at Lambton College to engage directly with industry professionals.
This invaluable experience allowed them to ask personalized questions, gain insights into various trades, and define their next steps toward a rewarding career.

Our Arts & Culture SHSM students engaged in a dynamic sector partner experience with Juno Award winner, Nick Adams.
The activity centered on a deep dive into branding strategy and techniques. Students then applied their learning by collaboratively designing the Muskoka Woods logo for the upcoming student hoodie.
This hands-on experience provided invaluable insight into the creative industry!

Warm drinks, good music, and delicious treats. Come support our Vikings' Music Bake Sale with free Hot Chocolate!
Bring you, your friends, and some cash to Gym BC on November 28th at Lunchtime(11:05).

Yesterday our ALLP class enjoyed a memorable visit to Korny Corners to learn about agriculture. Growing food and caring for animals were central themes for the day, along side some fun activities with classmates! It was a wonderful day spent learning & enjoying a new environment.

Our Viking Key Club provided the school community the opportunity to send postcards of thanks to current Canadian service people. These cards will arrive to those serving around the world by the winter holidays to provide cheer and thank you for the important work they do.

Our Vikings travelled to the Level Up! Skilled Trades Fair at Western Fairgrounds yesterday. Grade 10 students enjoyed interactive, hands-on experiences while learning about opportunities within the skilled trades.

What a season! Well done to our Cross Country Viking Team!

Students in Mr. Petruniak's class were visited by River City Vineyard's manager Audrey Kelway who provided an overview of the local unhoused community and how her organization supports those in need. The class made a donation to their food bank. Vikings were also focused on our greater school community by donating socks and funds to the RiverCity Vineyard for our annual school event Socktober.

This week our 4U students were germinating pea cells and learning about cell respiration. Our SHSM students took part in First Aid certification.

On October 27th, Fire Engine #3 from the new Colborne Station and Rescue 1 from the East Street Station assisted at Northern Collegiate to demonstrate their life-saving equipment used during automotive accidents. The Honda Odyssey used in the demonstration was generously donated by a staff member here at Northern. The firefighters took their time to explain the tools and how on-the-spot problem-solving helps them through their toughest jobs. They demonstrated several vehicle recovery techniques, including removing the doors to provide easier access to injured occupants, and using the Jaws of Life to move large parts of the vehicle—such as the dashboard—away from an occupant’s lower body during a rescue. Thank you again to Station #1 and Station #3 for spending time with us today and for continuing to connect with our community.
