Delview’s Celebration of Student Learning 

On Thursday, January 24, students at Delview Secondary presented their projects from semester one. Among the impressive displays were:

Children’s Books published by Innovation 10 students, all of which are available for purchase on Amazon. Innovation 10 is a cross-curricular course covering the combined learning targets for Science 10, Social Studies 10, and English 10 in a semester-long program. All writing and illustrations in these books come from students. No royalties are collected from these books’ sales, purchasers only pay for the printing costs.

Video games created by InfoTech students which also required the students to learn how to write code.

A variety of Independent Directed Studies projects by Innovation 10 Students that included everything from song writing and playwriting to 3D printing. Here are just some examples of the incredible creativity of these students:

• • Joshua produced a publication, Food for Thought, to showcase how food connects to local culture. Money raised from this publication will go towards Kinbrace to support local refugee families. You can purchase the publication here: Food For Thought Magazine Purchase and Donation (zeffy.com)
