Increasing wait time will give students a chance to process what they have heard and formulate answers in their mind. It is particularly helpful to repeat or rephrase questions that are in complex syntax or require more than simple answers.

Friday Spirit Day
Just a reminder for all students that this FRIDAY will be the SECOND ANNUAL SPIRIT DAY. The THEME of this Spirit Day is going to be ‘’OPPOSITE DAY”. Now what does Opposite Day mean? Well, dress up exactly in an opposite way as you would dress up, students being dressed as teachers, dress as the opposite gender. Make sure to stick to the school dress code and HAVE FUN WITH IT!!
Be cool and dress yourself up for school.

FCD visit next week
To: All staff
As part of our health education program and commitment to prevention and wellness, we have invited FCD Educational Services to visit our community from Monday 9th November to Thursday 12th. FCD is a non-profit organization that provides substance abuse prevention education for schools world wide.
During their visit, FCD Prevention Specialists will:
Promote awareness of addiction, including alcoholism, as a progressive, chronic, and often fatal disease
Empower students to make healthy, responsible choices regarding alcohol and other drug use
Educate students, parents, teachers, and school administrators on the physiological and psychological effects of alcohol and other drugs
Teach students and adults to recognize the early warning signs of substance abuse and to intervene appropriately
Encourage and support the non-use of alcohol and other illegal or illicit drugs during the growing years.
Provide our community with the guidance and training necessary to implement comprehensive, effective approaches to substance abuse prevention
FCD Prevention Specialists are highly trained professionals who have achieved long-term recovery from alcohol or other drug addictions. This unique perspective enhances the credibility of their message and provides students with role models for happy, healthy, drug-free living.
Faculty members play an important role in prevention by encouraging ongoing teacher-student dialogue on the subject of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. The FCD educators will conduct a faculty workshop to give us their advice on ways to help our students enjoy a drug-free adolescence. They will also assist in helping formulate ideas to continue these dialogues throughout the year.
During class sessions, FCD facilitators will usually ask staff not to remain present. There will be a meeting with teachers on the Tuesday staff meeting and an opportunity to discuss further on Thursday 12th during Block 5. There is also a parent session on Wednesday evening at 6pm which, if you are also a parent, you would be welcome to attend.
