Loyalist Skills Competition

 Once again PECI showed their talent at the Skills Canada Competition held at Loyalist College on Thursday Feb 20. PECI students, Cynara Lewis and Brooke Morrow took home 1st and 3rd place respectively in Photography Skills. Students were instructed to photograph architecture and people at Loyalist College. The competition was based on several components including a portfolio, a matted print and then photos taken on the day of the event. They were judged on the aesthetics, technical skills and professionalism of their work. Our congratulations goes to Cynara and Brooke for their achievements. Cynara now has the opportunity to go on to compete at the Provincial Skills Canada Competition in May.

Making Baby Food

In December our foods class learned about making their own baby food! They found out that is easy and often tasted better than the store bought jarred food. 

They did blind taste testing then learned to make our own and compared. We doubt they will ever ever do that again!

Daryl Kramp Visit

The grade 10 Civics classes had the opportunity to have a Member of Parliament speak to them on a personal level.  Daryl Kramp the MP for Hastings and Prince Edward riding spent a morning answering very candid questions from the Civics students. Mr. Kramp answered questions that ranged from personal questions about his family and hobbies to questions about Parliament and his relationship with the Prime Minister.

Mr. Kramp spoke emphatically about the importance of young people getting involved in the future of Canada and taking an active part in shaping the future they want.  He spoke of the lack of voter turn-out in the 18-24 year old age group and how they represent a group larger than the group that actually elected the current government.

Mr. Kramp left the group with the important message that despite being in different political parties, there must be cooperation among politicians for good things to happen.

In the end the students were left with the impression that Daryl was just "ordinary people".

History Comes Alive

Tanya Blundell, speaking to Miss Moon's grade 10 Canadian history class, helps bring history alive through the use of primary documents, genealogical research and the telling of personal stories.
