*************************
This year the Northeastern Catholic District School Board’s Alternative and Continuing Catholic Education Support Services Program (ACCESS) will be offering a two-credit package to students who are working towards the completion of their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
This exciting new opportunity will provide students with the chance to participate in different learning experiences such as:
- 15 tai chi sessions
- four yoga sessions
- three work out sessions at a local gym with a trainer
- 10 nutrition sessions with a chef
- three workshop sessions to develop a personal wellness plan and learn about strengths based living
- Cross country ski sessions
- Snowshoe sessions
- Garden box building workshop
- Local college and apprenticeship centre tours
- Indigenous traditional healing workshop
- Visits to local cultural centres
- And more!
After students participate in these different activities within our community, they will share their learning through a variety of presentations and reflections. Students who successfully complete this 'adventure curriculum' will earn two credits toward their OSSD – a Grade 11 English optional credit and a Grade 11 physical and health education credit.
Sharon Maisonneuve, ACCESS vice principal, commented, “We believe that education is an important asset that will help people achieve their dreams. Here at ACCESS we want to help students earn their Ontario Secondary School Diplomas so they can move forward with new opportunities." To register, call (705) 531-3075 extension 3507.
