Volunteer and leadership opportunities

Salut tout le monde,
I have added information about several current youth leadership programs to the "Social Justice Opportunities" tab at the top of the page. These opportunities include joining the City of Victoria Youth Council, Toastmasters Youth Leadership, participating in Victoria’s first ever youth film contest about homelessness, joining Greater Victoria Public Library Youth Advisory Council and submitting a comic to Canada’s Good Food Hero Comic Contest.

The emergence of these opportunities is very appropriate, as we've been having some extremely interesting class discussions about societal values and the roles of youth in human interaction as part of our Social Justice film study. I hope the students have been sharing their ideas with their families; it's fascinating to hear their well thought out interpretations of why things are the way they are. We have now finished studying Billy Elliot, and are moving on to Pleasantville.

In science we are about half way through our optics unit. Later this week or early next week, the students will be starting key concepts posters for what we've covered so far in optics, and once we finish the following chapter, we'll do a fun small scale group project to wrap up the unit.

A bientôt,
Mme O
