An inaugural cross-curricular course offered to arts and applied skills students combines several disciplines into one student-led learning project, and the results prove remarkable. The Board of Education received an exclusive viewing at their January meeting of several unique projects created by the first cadre of senior secondary students to participate in Vanier Creative Collective.
Zakk Davidson might be ill at ease talking in front of a crowd of strangers but give him a table saw or a tail-router and set him free in a woodworking shop, he becomes an entirely different master in his craft. That is because Davidson is quite comfortable and rather skilled in a unique setting that David Randall and fellow teachers Chris Armstrong, Dawson Ross, and Troy Dakiniewich created at G.P. Vanier Secondary.
The program is called Vanier Creative Collective a new course that debuted at the start of the 2018/19 school year, timed precisely with the unveiling of the recently renovated school campus.
