The
Grade 7M students have been involved over the past few weeks researching on
what their conscience would like them to do in the community. From a broader
perspective, students were asked the questions “How can I make difference to
the community?“ “What can I do to make the community I live in a better place with
my contributions?”
Students
have been enthusiastic to choose from a wide range of topics which include the
following:
- providing
breakfast to kids
- providing
education to people who are functionally illiterate
- supporting organizations that work with
animal shelters
- advocating for seniors health care
- raising awareness and funds to support
and improve hospital health care
- providing better treatment for cancer
patients
- environmental
awareness and climate change
- reaching
out to comfort terminally ill children at IWK hospital
The
above are just a few examples of the tremendous efforts these students have put
in to learn and even conduct personal interviews over the phone. It has offered
a great opportunity for students to think about how they can implement some of
these projects at school for building and staying connected with the community.
I over heard some of the students chat among themselves saying, "This is
great, we got to learn something new and now we get to present and teach others
in the school".
