RATIONALE
Grade 5 E-Week focuses on citizenship principles. Day trips exploring the geographical Niagara region precede an overnight adventure at Cedar Glen, fostering bonding among students and teachers.
During camp, students engage in outdoor challenges like orienteering and high ropes, blending learning with adventure. Integrated into the curriculum, this program applies math, science, history and social sciences in outdoor contexts, deepening citizenship understanding.
Stepping beyond the confines of the traditional classroom, students will form strong relationships, nurture teamwork, and embrace their roles as responsible members of the Middle School, HSC community, and the broader world.
