Our Latest Classroom Project

 
How well do you know your own brain? 

When one of our students was confronted with this question, she decided to put things in perspective. Using supplies found around the building, we created two and three-dimensional models of the brain. These were colour-coded and mapped to descriptions posted on the bulletin board. 

These types of activities, which happen every month, are extra-curricular. They don't earn anyone any credits, but they do give the classroom a more academic air. 
Community Day this year will be June 4th.

It can be dangerous out there


Phishing is typically an email scam which tries to deceive people into thinking a legitimate organization is requesting private information.

TO PROTECT YOURSELF: Be suspicious of any email or text message containing urgent requests for personal or financial information.  Contact the organization directly using a telephone number from a bill. 

Never email personal or financial information and avoid embedded links in an email claiming to bring you to a secure site. Get in the habit of looking at a website's address line and verify if it displays something different from the address mentioned in the email.

Always report phishing. If you have responded to a suspicious email, report it to [email protected]
