Math Dept.
The teachers of the Math Department attended an in-service facilitated by Peter Maguire, Instructional Coordinator for YK Education District #1.  They were led through a series of activities using “Geometer’s Sketchpad”, a computer program which can be used to illustrate, model and enhance instruction in a number of mathematical areas, including, but not limited to, geometry, algebra and coordinate geometry.

Class of ‘09
With a group of 84 Grade 12 students, Mindee Naismith, Greg Skauge, Wendy Campeau and Cynthia Roach, ventured out to the Capitol Theatre for a special screening of the newest James Bond movie - Quantum of Solace - for the Class of 2009. This year, the grad council has planned fun monthly activities for all grade 12’s to participate in, to help foster unity and create a sense of camaraderie. The event was well attended, and has received much positive feedback.
