Year two

Well we have been granted a second year of the innovation project grant from the BC government.  This is an amazing honor for us at Pender Harbour Secondary.  This will allow us as a staff to work with other schools that are part of the BC network of flexible schools.  Myself and Chris Lekakis are working with 12 different schools across BC that are using varying flexible timetables.  

So how is year two going..... Students are buying in to the ability to gain accreditation in multiple courses.  Most students are sitting at a 1.5 to 2.0 FTE for grade 10 and up.  Our younger grades are starting to work on better cross curricular projects and are realizing this means less repetitive work.  It is also having us a teachers, looking to the future and how we can help our students achieve even greater opportunities.   We are thinking AP courses... Ace it programs.  University courses....  Where shall we go in the future in Pender....
