What a spectacular Time!
We really liked Mono
Cliffs because there were a
lot of activities, like high
ropes, archery, lacrosse,
pond study, digital photography and study of the
ecosystem.
There were a lot of nice
staff there too. The food
was tasty and the chef
cooked very well, and we
also liked the snacks they
provided.
Our school enjoyed the
Mono Cliffs outdoor education centre. At the dorms
students were taught to
save electricity and water.
Trustee
Mr. H. Kaplan
At every meal students
followed a simple rule,
“Take only what you will
eat and eat what you take”
All leftovers were put into
the waste bin and students
were challenged to keep
their waste under 0.9 kg

We
gained
new
knowledge about the signifiicant impact humans
have on nature and the
environment.
We studied insects and
animals that we weren’t
familiar with. Generally
speaking, we had a wonderful time there.

A fun experience getting closer
to friends, meeting new people
and doing new things. By: Abigail
Overall it was a very exciting
experience. By: Edie
At Mono Cliffs we would
do about 2-3 activities each
day. We did pond study
which required that we
look for animals such as
frogs, tadpoles and leeches.
For our evening program
we did orienteering. Numbers were hidden around
the park and we had to find
them using maps. At night
we sat around the campfire
and played games, sang
songs and roasted marshmallows.

SuperCouncil Conference
On Friday May 1st Abigail, Daniel and I went to the Super
Council Conference. It was really
amazing because it was a completely different experience than
a regular student council meeting. Students from many regions
in TDSB gave speeches and then
we had to vote for who we wanted to be on the Super Council.
After the Super Council elections, we had elections for the
same positions, but at the district
level. The difference was that
as we are located in area “A,”
only students from our district
could run. One amazing thing
was that Daniel, a student from
our school actually ran as a
candidate. Unfortunately he
didn’t win but he put in a tremendous effort and it was
amazing.
