Wolverine Weekly February 2, 2025

Congratulations to our two curling teams who went to Zones and represented our school in style.  The girls team were new to the game and showed determination and commitment while having a whole lot of fun.  Our mixed team earned a bronze medal.  Thanks to Mr. Stewart for joining the teams at Zones and supporting them with his expertise throughout the tournament. 

School Annual Results Report presented to the Board of Trustees

This weekend Ms. Keon and I presented our School Annual Results Report to the Board of Trustees and our CRPS senior leadership team.  The full report will be posted to our website shortly.  Thank you to the School Council and our staff team who participated in sessions prior to this presentation to review our presentation and provide feedback.  

Building Thinking Classrooms Staff Workshop with Landry Forand 

Some of our STEM teachers across both high schools are participating in a workshop with Landry Forand this week to enhance their skills in offering hands-on learning and deep thinking in our math classrooms.  This work follows on from practices and strategies already being used in our feeder schools.  Thank you to Ms. Keon for spearheading this teacher learning for the high schools.     

Parent Micro Session Feb 25th 2025 6:30-7pm

CCHS will be holding a parent micro session on Feb 25th 6:30pm - 7pm.  The topic is: French Immersion and FSL (French as a Second Language) pathways at CCHS: it doesn't end in grade 8 or 9! It will be a hybrid session with the in person meeting being held in our CCHS cafeteria and this link meet.google.com/bss-ifrs-oek being available to families who wish to join virtually. 

We would like to encourage any parents with students in French Immersion, who are Francophone or who are interested in French as a Second Language courses to attend.  Students can still pick up French 10 (FSL) even if they have not studied French before.  We have invited LGMS and ERS parents to attend as well.  

Grade 10 Avalanche Safety Training (AST) - Update *Please ensure your grade 10 student is well dressed for the day on the hill

We encourage all our Grade 10’s to earn their AST.  This can help them stay safe as they recreate in the Bow Valley in the future and may be beneficial in getting jobs in the future. It is also a program unique to CRPS high schools.  This is an opportunity other high school students do not get for FREE!  To earn certification, students must complete all three components by the deadlines indicated:

• Complete all online modules
• Attend the classroom presentation with their STEM class in the theatre (see dates below)
• Attend their classes’ field day on hill training (see dates below)

Thanks for the generous support of the Pauw Foundation for making this program available for free to all our Grade 10 students.
