Hearts and Hands
Greetings Hawks,
Last time I wrote to you we were about to go to Teachers' Convention. The learning at convention was excellent and I had the good fortune to hear Chief Cadmus Delorme speak. Within his presentation he commented that an Elder once told him that, "You have to show people your heart before you ask them to hold your hand". I thought, how true is that and it was a reminder of the type of vulnerability it takes to create relationships with others.
The relationships we create with others will support us as we roll into the second half of the school year and start thinking about the finish line! I know that our grade twelves are thinking about it! For our grade seven and ten students and parents we are still asking that you complete the assurance survey (see your email for details). If you know one, please remind them to do it. It is our way of see your heart so that we can better ask for your hand.
Finally, thank you for the vulnerability you show in sharing your children with us! We appreciate it! Enjoy the weekend!
Respectfully,
Justin Klaassen
Collegiate is on the Move!
At the most recent School Council meeting I presented on new developments in our Collegiate journey! You may have seen paint and flagging in the field in front of the school as we prepare to put in foundations for our addition with the hopes of having the building start in August and opening date in Fall 2025.
With a bit of time before opening we are formalizing our plans for the program and starting to develop partnerships with industry. We had an excellent meeting with Rob Calver who is a Strategic Engagement and Development Director for Building Trades of Alberta and explored several exciting opportunities! Stay tuned for more information.
