High School Student Offers Welding Classes to Younger Grades

One of Blackville High seniors has taken it upon himself to teach a welding course to Blackville School's middle school population.  Avery Donahue has taken this project on to complete his capstone project in his Essential Skills class. 

He has dedicated part of his day to teaching middle school students how to weld. He took the initiative to discuss this as a possibility with his teachers Mr. Comfort and Mrs. Moody, who were ecstatic to help him start. 

Avery enjoys teaching the welding class and would gladly make a career out of it. The students also love the course. Many of them are excited to have the opportunity. The students engage in the lessons and are eager to learn. 

Some of the best preforming students provided their opinion on the class. Becca Hallihan, top preforming girl in the class, says she would take the class again and that she enjoys her teacher. Turner Kenny, one of three boys who are excelling in the course, says he would consider doing it as a career in the future.

Blackville School hopes to continue offering electives to middle school, as well as providing students with the opportunity to teach and learn new things. To see more photos from the class, check out the Blackville School's Facebook Page.

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development announces a special Design Challenge for students across the province. 

Students of all ages are invited to create original artwork that will represent the "schools’ vibrant cultural and linguistic diversity." 

The image will be featured on products such as mugs, card, and/or stickers that EECD will share with colleagues, educators and partners in education.

The goal of the challenge is to provide students with an opportunity to create an original design with real- world applications.

One logo will be chosen for each of the following grade level categories: K-2,  3-5, 6-8 and 9-12.

The chosen artwork will be one that captures the unique, inclusive and vibrant nature of the schools and provincial pride in cultural diversity and inclusivity. 

The creator of each of the four chosen designs will receive a professionally framed copy of their work, along with a mug, card or sticker featuring their design.

For more information, see your teacher and you can also see more details by clicking here.
