School is More than a Place
Children and Creativity A winning combination! That’s one of the reasons our annual Design an Ad special supplement continues to be popular in Burnaby. The Burnaby Now, local businesses and organizations, and the Burnaby School District, team up and ask city students to design newspaper ads for the special section. Every year, the students create insightful, creative, thoughtful – and often humorous – advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects while also conveying compelling messages at times. Businesses and groups can select which students’ advertisements get to run in the section. This year once again, instead of a professional photographer being able to visit the schools, the teachers have graciously sent some into us! The ads and photos of students are put together by our team at the Burnaby Now and then another Design an Ad section is complete.
When you think about your memories of school, it is no doubt much more than just the place that comes to mind. Schools are places of learning, connecting, creating and community. It’s also where friendships are forged, where we get a better understanding of the world and people around us, and also of ourselves. As the pandemic has gone on, it has additionally been a place that children and youth could count on for, among other things, familiar routine – something that has been especially important as we have had to collectively adjust to a seemingly ever-changing reality. One of the opportunities the Burnaby School District strives to give students each year is career exploration – a chance to try something new and see if it sparks interest or joy. This competition for Design an Ad allows students to explore marketing and advertising. At the high school level, there are dozens of career exploration opportunities, which are further strengthened by our partnerships in this community with post-secondary institutions and industry. Our diverse Programs of Choice offerings include video game design, trades, hairstyling, tourism, sports academies, cyber security, health sciences, and exploring the world of engineering. Some Career Education options even allow students to earn wages, along with credits toward graduation.
I would like to thank all the students, teachers, and advertisers who continue to make this annual project a success.
We are proud of public education in Burnaby and are always striving to be even better. I encourage you to visit our website www.burnabyschools.ca and Twitter account @burnabyschools where we will continue to share information and our collective stories about school, and all the ways in which it is so much more than just a place.

ELEMENTARY We provide early experiences to explore careers, such as Design an Ad, which lets children try marketing. In our classrooms, you’ll find students delving into Applied Design, Skills and Technologies (ADST): hands-on learning through design and creation. We empower students with opportunities and the skills they need to succeed, such as critical and creative thinking.
SECONDARY There are dozens of opportunities for students to get career exposure in our high schools. Programs of Choice have something for everyone, with diverse offerings such as graphic and media arts, trades, hairstyling, sports academies, cyber security,video game design, health sciences, and exploring the world of engineering.
