Good afternoon, Colonel Irvine School Community,
下午好! 学文学校社区,
Tomorrow there is no school. Teachers will be in the building completing ongoing professional learning on supporting students with literacy.
We have recently experienced some issues with vandalism in the boys' washroom. To address this, we are working on a student-led initiative aimed at increasing ownership and fostering pride in our communal spaces. A group of Grade 9 students is leading the project, and they are brainstorming ways to promote respect and responsibility in our school environment. We appreciate your support in encouraging our students to take pride in keeping our school a positive and welcoming place for everyone.
From May 12th to 15th, our Grade 8 and Grade 9 students participated in the VRCore in-school activity, a unique and engaging curriculum-connected opportunity. Students had the chance to explore how molecules are created and gained hands-on experience by building a virtual atom with their team. They also enjoyed a virtual tour of the International Space Station and even got to experience a virtual spacewalk. This innovative and interactive learning experience, facilitated alongside their science teacher, allowed students to explore key scientific concepts in an immersive way.
We are in need of more volunteers for upcoming gr 7 and 8 field trips, please see further information below if you can help.
We would like to ask all students that any books borrowed from the school are returned by June 13th. We will be sending out slips with students who have books missing prior to that date.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mr. Kitchen (Acting Principal) & Ms. Dalwood
