grade nine English

Romance! Lies! Fights! Murder!  What is going on in grade nine English?  We are reading Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Be Careful if you enter the room- there may be a sword fight going on....


Field Trip: Reel Canada Film Festival

On Monday, November 3, many of our grade 11 and 12 students will be attending the Reel Canada Film Festival.  It is a tremendous opportunity for our students to experience Canadain film and explore what it means to be Canadian.  The film festival provides students the rare opportunity to skype with directors of the films that they have viewed and participate in interactive sessions that explore the film making process.  Looking forward to the day!
                                






After-School Literacy Program

Our after-school Literacy Program got underway on Monday, October 27th.  Grade 10 invitees began their literacy journey with their instructor, Mrs. LaBute.  They were hard at work familiarizing themselves with the reading and writing tasks of the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test.  The snacks were delicious, and it was a great first session!  The second session will be on Wednesday, Nov.5 in the Learning Commons area after school.
