Students in our Grade 5 and 6 classes are introduced to the key concepts of individual responsibility and the importance of teamwork. Early in the school year, the classes travel to the Camp Kawartha outdoor education centre to engage in a variety of trust and team building initiatives. These provide an ethos for cooperation as students assume a variety of roles to ensure that their classroom functions smoothly, such as record keepers and monitors. They also take on selected school-wide leadership projects, including organizing our “Student Votes” initiative and World Vision charity drives.
