WELCOME TO GRADE 9!
This year we will explore the question "Who Am I?" through the following lenses:
What is a productive learning environment for me?
What are my character strengths?
What kind of personality do I have?
What is important to me?
Who am I?
We look forward to joining you on this journey of self-exploration!

Highlights from Last Month
During seminar classes, our Grade 9 students have been engaging in social emotional learning involving self-awareness, self-regulation, confidence-building, and motivation. Counselors have also begun a new series with our respective students and explored various components to Healthy Relationships. Our students also received a special presentation from Ms. LeClair, our Digital Learning Coach, who presented the latest technology tools that could help us with time management, organization, pacing, and decluttering our desktops. We are grateful for the new tips and resources she shared so that we can become better at “single-tasking”, be less distracted and be more productive. |
