THE FIVE ‘A’S
Inclusivity Mural Active Citizenship
Our student-run ACT (Activism, Community service, Team building) committee came together to create an inclusivity mural, designed and made by students. At the start of the school year, while at camp, the school community pledged to celebrate diversity and inclusion, cementing our values. Each handprint on the canvas, in the pattern of the progress flag, represents each student’s pledge to celebrate others’ differences. The ACT committee is proud to have the mural hung in the Albert College Resource Centre, reminding us of our commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
The Five ‘A’s Trip Adventure
The 5 ‘A’s trip was a two-week adventure during March Break. Twelve students from Grades 9 to 12 ventured across British Columbia and the Yukon Territory, engaging in a wide range of activities across the Albert College 5 ‘A’s. Our adventurers learned about various Indigenous cultures, camped and hiked in beautiful forests, went downhill and cross- country skiing in the Yukon, learned the art of glassblowing, and volunteered to plan and facilitate workshops at a B.C. outdoor school.
Grade 6 Leadership: Getting Ready for the “Big School” Active Citizenship
Climate Change Acceleration Team Active Citizenship
When students arrive at the Senior School, they can join a wide range of clubs and committees that make a big impact on our school and community. The Grade 6 leadership program is an opportunity for our younger students to hone their skills, before entering the “Big School.” Each year, the Grade 6’s take turns being a part of the Assembly Committee, the Action Committee, and the Green Team. These young leaders have already kicked off initiatives such as collecting used batteries for recycling, and raising funds for the Grace Inn Shelter in Belleville.
Albert College is one of 15 pilot schools selected to participate in the Climate Change Acceleration Program. This three-year commitment will focus on green initiatives within the school and the community. The Climate Change Acceleration Team at Albert has already successfully launched initiatives within our school, such as Meatless Mondays in the dining hall, with the help of Food Services staff, Earth Hour on March 31, and a Back to the Sea fundraising campaign in April, sparking curiosity and conversation about marine life and the need to protect our oceans.
