Connect to Care is a student lead group whose mandate is to start conversations about crucial topics that youth are facing. We are asking for Advisory Teachers to give students some time to complete the following survey (bit.ly/connect2caresurvey). This survey is anonymous and we are NOT asking for any personal information that would lead to identifying individuals. Instead, Connect to Care is hoping to gather information about the issue in order to start the conversation in our school.
Upcoming at UVic
For any student interested in Computer Science and STEM areas, there is another event they will find worthwhile. Offered in partnership with local youth-serving and STEM-focused community organizations including Rethink Thinking, Battlesnake, HackUVic, FIRST Robotics BC, UVic’s Let’s Talk Science, and Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair, this FREE event is an opportunity to learn more about some of the great programs available for youth interested in science and technology on Southern Vancouver Island.
Shoe Box is here! This year we are working with The Shoebox Project, they aim to help local single mothers. The donation criteria is different this year. We are mainly looking for small warm clothing like gloves or socks, hygiene items like floss or soaps. For more details check out http://www.shoeboxproject.com/ Donation drop off is in the office.
