Summit Academy

As this year was winding down, we wanted to take time to listen to what students had to say about our first year as a cell phone-free school. These are direct quotes from students grades 6-9 that were asked to share their opinions on the new cell phone policy. Was every student a fan of the policy? No - and that's ok. Change isn't always popular, but many of the concerns we heard only reinforced why this decision was made in the first place. We are proud of the way our students adapted, and even more proud of the community we continue to build together. Thank you to students, staff, and families for embracing this change and helping create a more connected learning environment.

Last week the grade 9 class held their entrepreneurship sale! This is a year-long project that gives students a small look into the business world. From making a business plan and creating and testing prototypes, to finally selling their products and calculating profits, this project teaches both real-world and cross-curricular skills!

The Junior Primary class raised butterflies this month! The class got to watch them grow from caterpillars to chrysalis, and finally to butterflies which they released today. Such a fun way to learn about life cycles! 🦋

This spring Mrs. Doucette’s grade 2 class incubated chick eggs. They waited patiently for 21 days and the chicks have finally hatched! They have 8 healthy and happy chicks, and lots of happy students! This was a great project to show animal life cycles as well as animal growth and development. 🐣

Our Grade 8/9 students had an amazing pottery experience at Secrets of Clay this April! 🏺✨
During their first session, they learned the basics of hand-building techniques and created their own original clay pieces from scratch. In the second session, they returned to paint and finish their creations, bringing their ideas to life with colour and personality. 🎨🔥
Such a fun creative process. Thank you for hosting us, !
