Grade 11s Prepare to be Grad Leaders

Despite the rain, spirits were high as the students completed a series of cooperative activities in the morning that emphasized the key skills they will need to be leaders at the school next year. Themes such as acceptance, cooperation, enthusiasm and perseverance were prevalent in all of the activities.

After lunch, the students sang campfire songs and played Octopus before taking some quiet time in small groups to reflect on what is to come in Grade 12. Students discussed initiatives they want to implement next year, how they want their grad class to be perceived and what type of leadership style they individually possess.

At the end of the day, Head Boy Jamie Varley and Head Girl Emma Heeney spoke to their grade about the importance of cohesion next year and how the leadership day was an important step in that direction. Then they ended with a "Grads 2015" cheer.

All in all, this grade showed great promise for next year!
