Charity Walk

The grade 12 World Issues class is at it again.  On Thursday November 17 the class walked from the school to the Eaton Centre to raise money for Free the Children. It was a cool day with lots of fun, great conversation and some hot chocolate along the way.  It was better conditions than in Uganda, but the students got a chance to think about how the Gulu children must have felt after running this far every day to escape the LRA.  To top off a great field trip over $500 was raised.

Applying our Learning to Life

On November 10 the grade nine applied geography classes took their learning outside to the neighbourhood.  Under the guidance of student teacher Ms. Ionno, and Ms. Andrews, the students practised looking at and determining land-use while comparing the residential areas east and west of Runnymede.  They were quick to note that many of the retail spaces on Bloor St. would be quite difficult to manouvre in a wheelchair.  Application and awareness was all part of the experience.
