The Learning Commons is Official!
A ‘Learning Commons’ refers to a whole- school approach for collaboration of all learners- educators and students- ‘naturally designed
to facilitate people working together’, and the school library is at the
heart of the Commons (Together For Learning 2010). Our Learning
Commons now has vibrant and inviting metre-high signage as you
enter, courtesy of Ms. Burbank’s vision, artistically designed by Ms.
Peer and Mulock’s Art Club, and cut with the expertise of Mr. Andrews- we have a welcoming space to collaborate, think and create.
Healthy Minds, Healthy Teens
Be a part of the conversation, we are pleased to have a panel of community speakers who will take us on a journey through the teen years.
They will bring awareness to what are teens are experiences, how
they are coping with the many changes they face and how it is impacting their mental health.
Join us on Wednesday February 26th at Sir William Mulock Secondary School at 7 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the presentation is
from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm.
