On October 3rd students learned how to price compare
by sifting through flyers to find the best deals. They
compared sales of
the same item at
different stores.
Throughout the
month they
continued to learn
about unit prices
and sales. To
finish the unit off we went on a field trip to
Superstore. Students spent the hour trying to find items
in the store and compare them to Dollarama’s prices. It
was great to be able to get out of the classroom and
apply what we had learned.

On October
20th students
watched and
participated in a play put on by
Sarasvàti Productions. This play
aimed to shatter the stigma
surrounding mental health issues
such as anxiety, depression,
eating disorders and bipolar
disorder. It also touched on the
tragic consequences that can
occur when teens are left to

P l a y
struggle with these issues alone,
such as suicide. The students
didn’t just watch a play, they were
given a chance to become completely immersed in the story
as they worked together to
explore solutions to the mental
health challenges the characters
face. The goal of this production
was to encourage students to
stand up for other students in the
face of bullying.

On October 12th Mr. Waterston’s Power Mechanics
class went to Speedworld on a field trip. This trip
coincided with what the students are learning in class,
the operation of small engines. They will soon be
completely dismantling and reassembling them in a
practical assignment. While at Speedworld the
students drove power karts and participated in three
races. At the end of each race 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
were awarded to the drivers. The students got to see
and feel firsthand how powerful a small engine can be.
Ms. Lichtman’s grade 10
English class visited the
Manitoba Museum. They

October marked the end of our
Cross Country season. Throughout
the season students participated in 3
zone events and 1 city-wide event.
The girls were running in 3-4
kilometer races, while the boys ran
5 kilometers. Many students
achieved personal best times and
improved immensely over the
season. Provincials were supposed
to be in Nelson House this year but
because of an early snow fall this
event was cancelled.

Ms. Lichtman and her husband, J.J.
Wiens, coached the Varsity Boys team
this season. With a lot of fresh faces
on the team these coaches worked
hard to teach the game quickly and get
prepared for some very tough
competition. They have a 50% record
and will compete in playoffs this
November.
Ms. Wray coached the Varsity
Girls team. This season they have
faced some intense competition.
Even though they have had many
close games they will unfortunately not make the playoffs this
season. Only 1 team out of their
pool of 6 will make it and they
can’t catch the top team with only
one regular season game to play.
Basketball tryouts will begin in November!

Students in Mrs. Ouskun’s Native Wellness class and Ms. Wray’s Physical
Education class have been learning about one of the five directions of wellness,
which is Physical Wellness, and have participated in the following:
First Nation Traditional Games: Historically, there were two types of traditional
games; Games of chance and Games of skill. Games were used to encourage
children to explore the world through play and also to enhance skills of hunting
and survival. Students participated in three traditional games: Sling Ball, Keep
Away and Hand Game.
Square Dancing Class: Every Nation or cultural group has special dances
unique to their people, which reflect their social, spiritual and community
existence. The students learned a Métis Square Dance called the Friendship
Dance, which is used in community celebrations and events, family
gatherings as well as in nation-to-nation gatherings. The students also learned
a basic jigging step with Mrs. Ouskun and
student Keanu Bittern demonstrating a
couple of fancy steps.
Traditional foods: Students in Native Wellness watched
a video on how to skin and butcher a caribou. Then
they enjoyed caribou stew and fried bannock in the
classroom.

Southeast collegiate students were invited to
attend a town hall meeting at the Institute of
Cardiovascular Sciences at St. Boniface hospital,
on Wednesday October 19th, 2016.
They listened to Dr. Thomas Sudhoff, a
Nobel Prize Laureate, talk about his life and
the path that lead him to make his scientific
discovery. Dr Sudhoff's presentation was
engaging and thought provoking. At the end of
the presentation some of our students took the
opportunity to meet with Dr Sudhoff and ask
him some questions.

This year we will be launching our first ever Literature and Art Magazine. Students have all year to
submit their writing or artwork. The final copy will be published and every student who contributes will
get a copy to keep. We are also planning on having a book launch and are currently looking for
bookstores who may sell the magazine in their establishments. Here is one submission we already
received.

Watching my daughter grow up these past few months has made me
realize how lucky I am to be a dad. I love looking at her beautiful
smile, hearing her cute giggle, feeling her tiny fingers wrap around
mine when I grab her hand and tasting her leftover food on her
cheek when I leave her kisses
I love the feeling I get each time I look at her big brown eyes. She
makes me happy with every little thing she does. I love feeling her
warm little body while she’s napping away beside me. I love hearing
her little snores, her laugh and her baby talk. I love looking at her
smile and watching her get amazed by every little thing around her. I
love holding her close to me and feeling her little hands trying to
grab my lip, nose or hat. Basically, I love everything about her.
