Our grade 9 student Colton was marching in the colour party for the Daines Rodeo Parade carrying the Canadian Red Ensign flag this past weekend. He is a cadet with the 7 Penhold Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron.

SS30's were busy giving it their all over the last two days, as they were being guided with review preparation activities for the Part A Diploma exam, which they are writing today (June 11). Then their last two class periods they'll be doing more whole course review for their Part B exams coming up on June 16th.

Hang in there! You've got this!

This week ELA10 students are learning firsthand and how to be eatery and film critics.

First, they listened to a podcast & received advice from a famous, former, local professional food critic, John Gilchrist.

Second, visited a local eatery for an amazing lunch and made observation notes incognito during their entire restaurant visit. (And was even served by a PenX alumni.)

Third, attended three "theatres" and recorded examples and evidence to critique during the film. (While their teacher severed them popcorn and cleaned aisles as an employee of Penhold Crossing Cinemas.)

Forth, over the next two class periods they will put their observations and experiences into review podcasts.

You never know, one might be inspired to become a profession critic in the future.
