Yearly Events....
Our school has a number
of events which occur on an annual basis. As well, there are a
number of community events. Please check below for a list of
annual events at our school and in our community.
School Events:
Orientation Day: In order for
new teachers to get to know the community and surrounding areas,
there is an Orientation Day. This could involve a day fishing on the
lake or a trip on the land.
Culture trips: Berry picking trips are planned for each
class on the land. Tents are set up, cooks are hired, a guide with a
gun is hired, traditional meals are cooked on the land e.g. fish,
