Frozen T-shirt Contest

Our Leadership class had a frozen T-shirt Contest at lunch the other day.  Our French teacher, Mr. Mocellin, used his experience to change the molecular structure by using his brute force which facilitating him being able to put on the frozen shirt before any students were able to.

Well done Mr. Mo!!

Be Bear Aware

As we get into autumn I just want to remind our school community to be "Bear Aware."  Our students are usually well versed in the ways to be bear aware, but I just wanted you to be alert that our local bears are preparing for their winter slumber.  Keeping garbage inside and not putting trash cans out until the day of pick-up is key.  If you are out for a hike and you approach a bear, take an alternative route.  I have included a message found on the Great Bear Aware.

Welcome to . . .

A fed bear is a dead bear. Most people are not aware of their role in the destruction of bears. If humans allow bears to access non-natural food sources such as garbage, they help to create "problem" bears. In most cases, "problem" bears must be destroyed because they damage property and are a potential threat to human safety.

 Have a good evening.

Grade 8 Orientation Today

As part of our Grade 8 Orientation today, Sechelt Nation Drummer & Singer, Andy Johnson, welcomed our students with a traditional welcome song.  He also taught us how to say Chatelech correctly (chot- lay- ch), which is the outer water (Georgia Strait).

Our Community School Coordinator, Sue Lamb, our Leadership students and several of our teachers helped make this an excellent event.  Thanks to our volunteers!

Have a good afternoon.

Community Services 40th Anniversary

 I attended the 40th anniversary celebration of Community Services this past Thursday. Sechelt Nation members sang a welcome song to start things off.

Telus donated $40,000 on this their 40th anniversary. What an awesome gesture for a great cause.
