Welcome Back From OE!

9/17/2019

“You set out on an adventure. You left comfortable and known behind. You pushed yourself - and in doing so, you learned about yourself. I hope the fall OE trips helped you to realize that you are more resilient and capable then you thought.”

Sarah gave a warm welcome back to Greenwood staff and students from an amazing week spent in the outdoors.

Sarah had the privilege of visiting the Grade 12 trip to Madawaska Kanu Centre where she got to witness our students take on the challenge of paddling white water. She was impressed by their hard work and determination as they were taking on Class 2/3 rapids and she congratulated them all for completing their Paddle Canada Tandem Skills certificate.

She hopes throughout the year, students will think back to the shared learning experiences they had with their classmates. Whether it was completing challenging portages or overcoming homesickness, everyone should be proud for venturing further.

She ended her address by encouraging everyone to work hard together, laugh often and lift each other up.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and as settlers, we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
