This year a music teacher shared with St. Peter's Junior High School will be assisting in providing band experiences for some of our elementary students. This is part of a district-wide initiative to provide band experiences for elementary students in all schools. Students in Grades One, Three and Five, and Two and Four, perform together at Christmas and spring on a rotating basis. This year, students in Grades Four and Five will be performing at Christmas, the Grade One class will perform a Valentine's concert and students in Grades Two and Three will be involved in a spring production. By dividing the grades over the year we are able to make the productions more manageable for our large numbers of students and offer them a better experience.
Classes also take part in assemblies to celebrate the major holidays throughout the year.
As you walk around our corridors you will see that we have a growing art collection that provides our students with exposure to a variety of artists, styles and techniques. New pieces are added to recognize retiring staff. As well, each year we frame a piece of art completed by one of our Grade Six students. Please refer to our 2000-2001 School Report for a summary of the activities that took place in our Learning Resource Centre last year. We also offer a host of other experiences too numerous to mention here, so if you have a particular interest please ask us about it.
