This cohort is designed to embrace the redesigned curriculum for students in grade 9 who are interested in approaching their learning from a different path and using inquiry.
Students need to be curious, embrace physical challenges, capable of working with others and interested in making community contributions within the school and beyond the classroom walls. Teachers will be working together as an inquiry team to focus on wellness while making thematic connections with their community. Working in a Science, Social Studies, English, and Physical & Health Education cohort, students will explore the environment of the City of Burnaby and neighboring communities. Cross-Curricular connections and explorations will emphasize experiential activities. Frequent opportunities to explore ideas and curriculum in our local surroundings that will be facilitated by scheduling the cohort classes so as to allow for flexibility with off-campus days.
All parents and students interested in ConnEx 9 are invited to an important meeting on Monday March 6, 2017 in the multi-purpose room from 6:30-7:15pm. Refreshments and a small snack will be served by our catering students. If you have any further questions about ConnEx 9, please email either Mrs. Lewis – deena.lewis@sd41.bc.ca or Mr. Callister – Barry.Callister@sd41.bc.ca
