05.16.2012

GOVERNOR SIMCOE AND FIVE OTHER SCHOOLS have been participating in a pilot project to support student learning in grade 9 and 10 applied level classrooms. The goal this semester has focused on students achieving a minimum of 70% in all classes. Students who meet the criteria may be eligible to complete the course without writing the final exam and will not be required to come to school the day of the exam. Any student who meets the criteria may choose to write the exam if they wish.

Anyone Can Be A Hero
BY CHRISTINA ISMAILOS  05.15.2012

HOW DO YOU BECOME A HERO AT 17? Just ask the students at Governor Simcoe Secondary School. In the last two years, Simcoe has been working with Canadian Blood Services to encourage youth to give life saving blood. Once a month, the local clinic sends a Life Bus to transport ten students who have volunteered to donate. In the 2011-2012 year, Simcoe staff and students have made 47 donations with more on the way. Each donation, or unit, is divided into red blood cells, platelets and plasma so it can potentially help three patients. It’s simple to see just how many people have benefited from this new Simcoe initiative.
