Several high schools in Anglophone North School District have teacher initiated programs that help students “see over the horizon” and further their understanding of developmental education. For instance a number of students at Bathurst High School (BHS) have an opportunity this year to become more aware of the living conditions of people in disadvantaged countries and to do something about it. In this way they are enhancing their roles as “global citizens”, considered to be an important aspect of 21st Century Learning.
Nelson Rural School (NRS), similar to many other ASD-N schools, has kicked off the school year making a serious contribution to the community. (see also GG Fundraiser Against Polio) ) The Terry Fox Foundation, the Miramichi Food Bank, and the Miramichi Transition House have all benefitted from Nelson students returning to school in September. Within the first 6 weeks they donated $800 to The Terry Fox Foundation, gave more than 500 items to the local food bank and continued to give support to the Transition House. NRS parents and staff can be very proud of the efforts of the students.
Grade 9 and 10 students at Miramichi Valley High School recently had the opportunity to become aware of the importance of safety in the work place. Ms Candace Carnahan, a spokesperson for WorkSafeNB™ and herself a victim of a work place accident, addressed the students and pointed out to them how easily injuries can occur and that one has to be constantly on the lookout. The message she conveyed was, if you “See Something, Say Something”. In other words, let others know if a hazard is present, don’t just ignore it.
We are continuing to monitor the situation in Rexton. Exit 53 and Hwy 134 remain as one lane and we are advising parents and teachers traveling to schools in the Rexton area to avoid this exit if at all possible. Please continue to check the website as we will post information as it becomes available.
Rexton Elementary School, Eleanor W. Graham Middle School and Bonar Law Memorial High School will be open today, Friday, October 18. Staff at each school will be available to students who need emotional support.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
