Rat Portage Hill Truck Fire

On my way to the ferry Friday afternoon I took a picture of this burning truck.  There was an ambulance on site and it didn't look like there were any injuries.

Hands on Learning

Our Sechelt Language students were engaged in doing a variety of projects when I stopped by today. They are doing some excellent work, as you can see.

FYI the film, We Were Children, will be held at the Raven Cry Theatre February 15, 2014.  This is a true heartbreaking story of Lyna Hart & Glen Anaquod who were removed from there home at ages of four and six like so many First Nations and Indigenous children in Sechelt and throughout Canada & forced into a system that would impact them and their communities forever.  There will be a Candle Lighting Ceremony at 1:00 pm followed by the Film at 2:00 pm and a Panel Discussion and Q & A at 3:30 pm.

It is recommended for audiences 16 years of age and older.

Senior Girls' Basketball Team

Our Senior Girls' Basketball Team finished the regular season with a loss to  Rockridge today.  We will have a final exhibition game next Thursday at home against Pender. Thank you to the students who helped with timing, scoring and refereeing-- we really appreciate your efforts!

Action Shots from Foods & Textiles

Students engaged in work in both Foods and Textiles in the above photos.  Indoor Soccer started today, but because I had a meeting I wasn't able to get any pictures.  I understand that it went really well. I hope to stop by and get some pics tomorrow. The Sr. Girls' Basketball Team plays Rockridge at home today-- it should be a tough battle.

Until later.

CSS PAC Approve Kitchen Upgrades

At our PAC Meeting last night there was a proposal to put $5,500 into a kitchen upgrade.  The kitchen, which supports our hot lunch program, needs to be upgraded to keep up with demands.

It is a testament to the work that our PAC does to support our students. Thank you so much PAC!!!!

Full Turn Around Day

 The day started with a beautiful sunrise. (West Sechelt )

 After a morning meeting I went to the gym and saw the great work being done for the Winter Formal.

 The transformation was awesome.  The decorations for the Winter Formal was outstanding.

 The ceiling lights looked great!

The DJ and his screen.

The Winter Formal was well attended and the students had a great time. The dancing looked like it was fun and the food was fantastic!

Thanks to all who volunteered to make this a successful event!
