Meet the Seniors!

Today is one of my favourite days of the school year when we get to visit the grade 7s in the gym and learn about all of their great accomplishments, hobbies, interests and favourite things. It’s so exciting for me to see my past students so confidently display themselves for the visiting classes.

Way to go grade 7s! So proud of who you’ve become. Division 8 students, what was your favourite thing you saw today on display? Was there a grade 7 that had very similiar hobbies /interests as you!? What did you have in common?

Orange Shirt Day 2022

Orange Shirt Day is an event that started in 2013.
It was designed to educate people and promote awareness about the Indian residential school system and the impact this system had on Indigenous communities for more than a century in Canada.
The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools. This week, Division 8 students participated in Orange Shirt Day in a couple different ways. On Tuesday, we tried to put ourselves in the shoes of Phyllis Webstad and created art based on what t-shirt we would want to wear on the 1st day of school and discussed how it would feel if it was taken away.
Today, a beautiful primary assembly was presented by Ms. Boyes, Ms. Tsumori, Ms. Edwards, Ms. Cobbett, Mr. Tesan and Mr. Hamilton. We ended with saying “Huy ch q’u” (“Hi-ch-ka,” giving of thanks, with our hands held in front at heart leave with palms open and facing upwards).


Nelson students, what was your favourite part of the day and how will you ensure that other students at school always feel like they matter, they are cared for and they are important?
