Grade 9 Visual Arts is looking extra SWEET! 🎨
We already knew our Grade 9 artists were sweet, but their latest artwork proves it! 🥰 Students created colourful “Close-Up” drawings of their favourite sweet treats, using the grid method to help with proportion and detail, along with the pencil crayon techniques learned in class to bring their delicious creations to life.
From vibrant colours to realistic textures and mouth-watering details, these artworks are almost good enough to eat! 🍬🍫

Last Friday, some of our Grade 9 geography students visited Craven Land and Cattle Company Ltd. and Truly Green Farms to learn about agriculture, soil, and food production.🐄🌱🫑 A big thanks to the Canada Water Agency for funding this field trip! It was a great experience for our students🌾
After completing units on business technology and business leadership, the grade nine business class has transitioned into learning about what it means to be an entrepreneur. They started this new unit with a short reflection activity, identifying five entrepreneurial skills they demonstrate, reflecting on some of their favourite businesses, how they demonstrate the elements of an entrepreneur mindset, and identifying what skill they hope to improve on throughout the unit.🧠
These young entrepreneurs have a direct 'hand' in their own learning and growth.

Look at this incredible transformation! 🌿✨ Our Horticulture class has been hard at work turning our school spaces into beautiful gardens!
From prepping the site, digging, and laying garden stone, to adding fresh soil, mulch, and planting perennials—these students did it all! 💪🌱
A huge THANK YOU to Canadian Tire Wallaceburg for generously donating the perennial plants, and to our hard-working students for making our school shine. We couldn't do it without amazing community partners like you! 👏❤️

Our Grade 12 English students put their argumentative skills to the test! Each student received a random item and had to convince their classmates to make a trade using persuasive strategies. Some made some pretty interesting trades, while others managed to convince themselves that their original item was worth keeping! Lots of laughs and some impressive powers of persuasion on display!
Big shoutout to our SHSM students! 👏 They dedicated two full days of training to earn their First Aid & CPR certifications—one of three essential certs required for their programs! 🩺⛑️

Grade 10 Food and Nutrition students completed their safety tests, did a practice lab making playdough, and have successfully moved on to making food. Students have made stuffed peppers and a variety of nutritionally boosted pancakes! 🫑🥞
What an exciting fire station tour we had! 🚒The firefighters divided us into three groups, and we took turns touring the entire fire hall, all the compartments and equipment in a firetruck, and learning about fire safety at home. Firefighters demonstrated how quickly they can get into their gear and how to slide down a fire pole. 🚨🧯
Today, CHC2D students stepped into the shoes of museum curators using the "Supply Line" Discovery Box from the Canadian War Museum!
Students rotated through stations to physically inspect wartime gear—comparing WW2 innovations like Mark II helmets, flight lifejackets, and civilian ARP armbands to the WW1 conditions we’ve been studying.
Hands-on learning lets our students ask the big questions: How did technology change? What was life like during wartime? Whose stories are told, and whose are missing? 💬
Big thanks to the Canadian War Museum for this incredible hands-on inquiry experience!

Taking geography out of the classroom! 🌿🗺️ Our Grade 9s spent the day exploring ecosystems and physical geography firsthand at Lorne Henderson Conservation Area.
Learning about tools! First, we toured the automotive shop led by Mr Nowakowski and our Leadership student. Back in our classroom we looked at more wrenches together. Later in the week we explored types of screwdrivers and tried our hands at putting some screws in ourselves.
Huge shoutout to our Grade 9s for crushing the scavenger hunt last Monday, and to our awesome Plaid Peer leaders for guiding the way🔎✨ Students followed the clues leading them to 10 key stations across the school, gaining points at each stop. From learning the shortcuts to making new connections, our newest students are officially ready to conquer the year!
Congratulations to Ms. Monague's class for taking the win🥇
