Tuesday Jan 30, Wednesday Jan 31: In-school workshops

Thursday Feb 1, Friday Feb 2: Incomplete/catch-up days

As part of the semester transition, Magee hosts over 130 workshops, classes, field trips and assemblies as part of our 'Semester Turnaround Experience'. These sessions include topics such as mental health, social media safety, substance abuse, nutrition, gender and sexuality, healthy relationships, cyberbullying, environmental stewardship, social justice, mindfulness, and crisis intervention. Students have the opportunity to take art, music, dance, and athletic classes as well as several education fields trips.

The workshops serve provide further opportunity to engage with the BC Curriculum’s core competencies of intellectual development, communication, and individual and social identity. We will also work towards meeting our school goals of providing each student opportunities to experience growth and success, fostering global citizenship and environmental stewardship, and increasing knowledge, acceptance, empathy, awareness and appreciation of Aboriginal histories, traditions, cultures, and contributions.

Details:

• The workshop handbook will be available online and in hard copy from January 16th.
