Publicity, poster, PSA COMPETITION – Everesting Challenge

Find your paints, your crayons, your coloured pencils, your camera or your laptop!

Mr Stevens needs publicity for his fundraiser. We need posters, videos etc that explain what, when, why, how, when and where!

Who: Mr Stevens

What: will ride up and down “Yangshan” 80 times.

Where: near Golden Eagle

When: June 6

Why: Mr Stevens is raising money for the Hopeful Hearts Charity. This charity helps pay for children’s heart surgeries.

How: He will ride up and down the hill 80 times. This is the same distance as climbing to the Mount Everest base camp! This challenge is call EVERESTING. It’s the most difficult climbing challenge in the world: everesting.cc .

So how can you help Mr Stevens?

We need to advertise this fundraiser. But we don’t have any posters or PSAs yet.

Your advertisement should be clear and informative. You can draw, paint, or use any media you want. Perhaps you would like to do a little video, like a PSA.

How is this volunteering? Your contribution to this poster competition is indirect volunteering. You will be raising awareness about heart surgeries and hopefully, people will donate money and cheer him on.

The submissions are due on Monday, May 11^th at 9am.

Please put them on OneDrive. For more info, please contact Mr Stevens or myself.

Grade 7 students! Today we will have a short meeting in the LGR in block 1 to talk about your schedules for G8. Please put your bag in your block 1 class and make your way to the LGR ready to talk course choices.

See you there!

Last week grade 12 reconnected after the Covid quarantine and today the grade 12 students prepared to transition and have healthy closure by building a RAFT:  Reconciliation, Affirmations, Farewells and Thinking Ahead.  Just as important to leave well, we have to stay well.  We are a mobile community with people in transition.  Take some time to build a RAFT if you are preparing for a move.  If you are staying, take some time to affirm your relationships, celebrate others and take care to build your day with people and activities that are meaningful to you.  Here are a couple of websites for leavers and stayers, whether you are a student or adult:
