Principal's Message

Dear Parent(s),

YOUR OPINION COUNTS! Please be aware that the last day for all Assurance survey submissions is April 23, 2021. Currently only 9 of 63 families have participated. This is extremely important to our school, please complete it before the deadline.

I'm excited to share a Outdoor Learning and Sustainability project our grade 9 students are working on. Self-Named the APPLE DUMPLING GANG, the students will be fundraising to purchase and plant apple trees at Niton Central. Their hope is that the future grade 9 classes will take care of the tree(s) and be inspired to continue their legacy of caring for our community. More information will be shared once the project progresses.

Learning In Action

Game of Life

The Grade 5/6 class were given an assignment, the Game of Life. In this assignment, students are given a career, and learned about monthly budgets and how to plan a basic budget. This week, students got married and introduced the class their kids! In the coming weeks, students will have to pick a house to live in and a car to drive based on their monthly budget. They will also go grocery shopping for their family, and deal with monthly bills (electricity, water, internet, phone, streaming services).

Students are having fun exploring different careers and their eyes have been opened to "real" life.
