High spirits



Blackville High School students enrolled in Outdoor Pursuits 110 journeyed to Miramichi Valley High School to take part in the High Elements Course on Wednesday, May 26. The purpose of the activity is to challenge students to move outside their comfort zone while also building support and trust with their peers. Even students who are scared of heights are assigned a job that leaves them on the ground. However, all the students in attendance from Blackville High participated in the climb. The High Elements Course is part of District 16's Adventure Education Initiative. For more photos from the event, click here.

Speaker shares her experiences as a refugee

High school students Melita Urquhart and Taylor Colford pose with guest speaker Rebecca Campbell.

Rebecca Campbell, a refugee of the civil conflict in Sierra Leone (over control of the diamond mines), spoke to the high school students at Blackville School on Wednesday afternoon, May 19. Campbell was invited to speak to the World Issues 120 class and it was decided her story should be shared with the entire high school community. Campbell is now a Canadian citizen who lives in Miramichi. She is a business owner and wrote a book called Strong and Free. Campbell spoke to the students about her experiences in Sierra Leone, her escape through a war zone with her three young children, her journey to Canada and the importance of education. You can find out more information about Rebecca Campbell at her website, Strong and Free.

Mum's the word

Chicken mummies? Grade five students at Blackville School are working on their final project for their study on Ancient Egypt. The students are mummifying chickens. Each group will eventually wrap their mummified chicken in linen (gauze) at the end of the six weeks and make a sarcophagus for their chicken - just like how it was done in Ancient Egypt. For more photos of the students working on their project, click here.
