Life/Work Exploration Camp at University of Winnipeg

On Friday, May 22, all grade 8 students took part in a Life/Work Exploration Camp at the University of Winnipeg. The camp was planned and organized by a committee of teachers and coordinators from the St. James-Assiniboia School Division. Students took part in a variety of sessions throughout the day involving the 6 Cs (Collaboration, Creativity, Character, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Citizenship) and performed tasks using the D.I. model (Destination Imagination). After viewing videos from a variety of Winnipeg professionals speaking about the importance of the 6 Cs as essential skills in any career, students had to complete a variety of timed tasks by putting to use the skills in focus. It was a fun and skill-building day at the U of W!
