World Peace Gong

The grade 6 students have been working on redesigning our Canadian Coat of Arms to better reflect our Canadian heritage and identity. Symbols can be a powerful representation when combined into something monumental. Pictured here is the Peace Gong in Indonesia. It sparked some interesting conversations :)

LENTEN PROJECT - Grade 6 Leaders

The grade 6 students have been hard at work inquiring about the many issues of Indigenous people in Canada. We are so grateful to the ODAWA NATIVE FRIENDSHIP CENTER for coming to our school and sharing their knowledge and experiences with us. 
Thank you to Mr. Charles who put together an inspiring video to demonstrate some of the challenges faced by the Indigenous people of Canada and our role in supporting this organization.
