Creativity & Children - A great mix
An Unforgettable School Year
That’s one of the reasons our annual Design an Ad special supplement continues to be popular in Burnaby.
To say it has been an unforgettable school year certainly feels like an understatement.
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 produce insightful, creative, thoughtful – and often humorous – advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects and often carry compelling messages. The businesses and groups get to choose which students’ advertisement they want to run in the section. Unfortunately, this year due to COVID-19, our photographer couldn’t visit the schools so the teachers graciously sent some in to us instead! The ads and photos of students are put together by our team at the Burnaby Now and another Design an Ad section is complete.
It goes without saying that the global pandemic has disrupted our lives. COVID-19 has brought worry, uncertainty, frustration and sorrow for so many. As a school district, the pandemic has challenged us in ways we never imagined. Yet with the support of families and staff, school communities have found imaginative ways to turn the challenges faced into opportunities: connecting, creating, learning and supporting both each other and the community. One of the opportunities we strive 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. Another is Burnaby Schools unique Words Writing Project, where students can become published authors. At the high school level, there are dozens of additional 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 options such as: video game design, trades, hairstyling, tourism, sports academies, cyber security, health sciences, and exploring the world of engineering.
I would like to thank all of the students, teachers and participating advertisers who continue to make this annual project a real success
We are proud of public education in Burnaby – whether online or in-person – 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, opportunities and our collective stories with you.

ELEMENTARY We provide early opportunities to explore careers, such as Design an Ad, which lets children try marketing. The Words Writing Project is another unique opportunity where students become published authors. 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 the skills they need to succeed – such as critical and creative thinking – no matter what the future brings.
SECONDARY There are dozens of opportunities for students to get career exposure in our high schools. Programs of Choice include diverse offerings such as video game design, trades, hairstyling, tourism, sports academies, cyber security, health sciences, and exploring the world of engineering. These and other choices give students the chance to excel in a specific area of interest, while fulfilling academic requirements.
