MYP/DP Friday Assembly this Week!

You are an MYP/DP student on 8:01am Friday morning… Where will you be?

A. Sitting in the theatre enjoying the start to an amazing assembly with your bag in your locker.

B. Powerwalking to your locker to put your bag away because you forgot that you can’t bring it to assembly.

C.  Listening to the doors creak open as you make the awkward “walk of shame” to your seat.

D. Getting read the riot act by Dr. Saavedra just outside the theatre door for being late and then making the “walk of shame” while getting dirty looks from the audience.

E. Getting read the riot act by Mrs. Tyochin just outside the theatre for arriving late with your backpack, going back to your locker, then making the awkward “walk of shame” while receiving dirty looks from Mr. Cofer on stage.

There is only one correct answer… See you then. 8am, in your seat, no bags! Thanks!

Procrastinators Unite…Tomorrow!

Hey everybody,
For my PPP, I made, a short film on procrastination. Entitled “Enough Time,” I hoped this video could make people aware of this important topic. I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope you guys like it. There’s also a SurveyMonkey link beneath the video that I was hoping you could fill out for feedback.
Thanks – Derron Yu

Displaced people

Dear Colleagues,  This year the ‘shanty town experience’ is being replaced with a ‘displaced people experience’. For this to be successful we need a large collection of materials for Grade 8 to use to build shelters. As this will be in March / April this year they will need to keep warm and dry. We are looking for cardboard boxes, tarpaulins, plastic sheeting, string, wood, bamboo poles and whatever else would be useful for shelter construction. We only want used items.

If you have anything please bring to our classrooms (D220), the Design Centre, or contact us and we will collect. We are the Grade 8 Humanities team (Ruth, Rebecca and Laurie) and the Grade 8 Design team (Francis, Robin and Nikolai). Many thanks.
