A wonderful day of learning outside the classroom! Our Grade 8 students had a meaningful visit to the Wallaceburg Museum where they paid their respects at the local Veteran Memorial. They also worked together on a scavenger hunt, discovering unique artifacts and collective pieces that highlight Wallaceburg's rich past. 📜 Thank you to the museum staff for hosting us!

What an incredible two days of hands-on learning for our OYAP Tartans! 🤩
A huge shout-out to the students who thrived in the Women in the Trades Bootcamp! They gained valuable experience in tool/mould-making, prototyping, R&D, and worked with CAD/CAM software and a tabletop CNC milling machine.
Other Tartans dove into a practical Plumbing/Gas Fitter Workshop, mastering everything from cutting and threading pipes to collaborating on team snorkels. Every moment was a new skill unlocked! 🔩🔧

🏭 CF Industries Engages WDSS Students on Career Pathways
CF Industries recently visited WDSS to provide students with an informative look🔍 into the diverse range of careers and skilled trades available within a major industrial company. This community outreach initiative is part of CF Industries' commitment to career development, helping to build the future workforce right here in the local area.
The presentation highlighted that a company like CF Industries, a global leader in the manufacturing of hydrogen and nitrogen products (like fertilizer), requires far more than just administrative staff. They rely on a highly skilled and diverse team across many disciplines. ⚙️⚡🏗️

✈️ History Comes to Life in Grade 10! 📚
Our Grade 10 history students took to the skies (of the classroom!) to explore the tactics of the Battle of Britain. They got creative, building and flying paper airplanes to better understand the strategy behind this crucial WWII campaign—the first major military effort fought entirely by air forces!
Learning by doing! Great work, historians! 👏

Learning tastes good! Our Equity, Diversity, and Social Justice students cooked up some amazing Chicken Enchiladas as a delicious way to explore and appreciate other cultures. A great way to deepen their learning and understanding. #EDIJLearning #CulturalExploration
It was a phenomenal day here at WDSS!
While our Grade 9 students were out exploring various careers for Take Our Kids to Work Day, we had the pleasure of welcoming our Grade 8 future Tartans to engage with us for the day!
We kept them busy and learning with:
School tours to get a feel for the place! 🏫
Learning the history of lacrosse 🥍
Hands-on science experiments 🧪
Exploring the trades 🛠️
Navigating challenging breakout boxes 🧩
Participating in games of low organization. 😄
It was a perfect day for creating new connections and enhancing existing ones. A great day for all involved! We can't wait to see this group again soon! #FutureTartans #Grade8 #HighSchoolBound #TakeOurKidsToWorkDay #Community
