A Community Conversation about the Future of Education

On Tuesday, February 16, join a cross-section of Thunder Bay community members to talk about the future of our schools. Contribute your ideas and help build a vision for public education in the 21st Century.

Hosted by People for Education, the evening is part of a provincial initiative to foster new thinking about education and about the links between schools and the broader community:
What would your ideal school look like? What would it have in it? Would it even be in a building?
How would the students learn? How would we define success?
What would be the relationship between the school and the community?

Explore these questions and share your ideas with people from all walks of life in the Thunder Bay community.

All community members are welcome!
 

WHERE:       Boys and Girls Club of Thunder Bay
270 Windsor Street (formerly Forest Park School)
 
WHEN:      Tuesday, February 16, 2010 from 6:30 – 8:30
Light Refreshments will be provided.

Hey Churchill, check out the photo album section to try some of the projects the ICS 3M and ICS 3U Video Game programming classes have made this year. The album will be updated with their final projects as they are completed.

Grade 9 and 10 students interested in programming should talk to Mr. Sacevich about joining the lego robotics team which will begin in semester 2, or take TIK 201 - Gr. 10 Robotics Programming.

We’d like to wish everyone a safe and fun holiday season! See you back at school January 4th!
