This is the final installment of a project our secondary students worked on which is meant to offer prospective students insight into life at Sagonaska. It was collaborative project, written by our students using Google Docs. Please enjoy reading the top ten things our high school students like about Sagonaska.
The Top 10 Things Current Students Like About Sagonaska:
- The
counsellors are helpful during homework hour
- More
one-on-one time and small classes make it better for learning
- We
have more freedom with our technology here - we’re allowed to use it in
class to help us and we’re encouraged/forced to use new forms of
technology and apps
- If
we’re stressed the teachers help us, and it’s okay to fidget or have
stress balls around. Teachers are used to kids fidgeting and moving around
and understand ADD and AD/HD
- Feeling
accepted and safe - knowing that everyone knows what its like to have an
LD
- It’s
comforting here - it doesn't matter who you are, you will always make
friends here
- The
school is loveable! Students really get to know the counsellors and their
teachers and are close with them
- Having
the experience of living away from parents
- Ski
and snowboard trips every week - in residence there is always something
going on and options to do things and you do a lot with the school -
trying new things that are different than at other schools like a high
ropes course, using the green screen
- Being able to earn things
like your off-campus
