The students in Mrs. Saunder's grade 9 English class have been reading Harry Potter and have divided themselves into the famed houses: Gryfindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. They have been competing with their house teams in class challenages presented through the Classcraft Gaming app.
Today's team challenge was to use a piece of technical writing (ie, a recipe) to make the "Knickerbocker Glory" which is mentioned in the book that they have read:
“They ate in the zoo restaurant, and when Dudley has a tantrum because his knickerbocker glory didn’t have enough ice cream on top, Uncle Vernon bought him another one and Harry was allowed to finish the first.”
This team challenge was assessed based on team team's ability to build consensus, proper hygiene, respect for and maintenance of the space, and their method of creating the beautiful sundaes.
Mrs. Saunders and Ms. Pickstock are helping to create invested learners as by presenting a series of challenges that will lead to one team winning the house cup prize!

Sixteen students from grades 9-12 attended the Skills Ontario conference for Young Women in Toronto on May 8th. Students were inspired by a mentor panel of females who explained their challenges and successes working in the areas of Plumbing, Construction, Manufacturing, and Hairstyling & Esthetics. Keynote speaker and CEO Mandy Rennehan challenged students to re-think "the collar blue" when she explained how "one woman in the skilled trades is an army." Mandy's success story showed our students that they can accomplish anything by being true to themselves and working hard.
