2023- 2024 School Year
Welcome to my site. Good luck to all AP Students this year! The May 2024 AP Psychology Exam date is: Thursday, May 9th 2024 @ 12pm. Please note: your AP Psychology class mark is what shows on your report card as your class mark. The AP Exam is completely separate and is graded on a 5-point scale. The exam mark is only used for University credit- not your classroom mark. AP Exam results will be released in early July 2024 through the AP College Board. Be sure to check your emails for your scores & results. AP College Board Account: all students are required to set up their online AP College Board account or you will not be able to write the exam. If you have set up an account for ANY AP course before, you use that same account and just add your new AP courses. Your AP Psychology teacher will be give you your specific class code the first week of class. For my specific resources for the course, click on the AP PSYCHOLOGY 12 link above. Good luck and have a great year! |

The Effects of Slavery & the Underground Railroad
Social Studies 9 Quilt Project
Ms. Carey's and Ms. Alve's Socials 9 classes worked together on an Underground Railroad Quilt using symbols and images used to try to flee from the USA (The 13 Colonies) to freedom in Canada after studying the American Revolution & early Canada. After a few weeks of lessons and activities, the classes came together using modern day emojis to represent the same images as the original Slave Quilts would have had. The 'quilt' is now hanging in Ms. Alves' room in 210.

2019 ORANGE SHIRT DAY at North
Monday September 30th 2019 Orange Shirt Day has been declared on September 30th annually and has been happening for the past 6 years in Canada. The events were designed to commemorate the residential school experience, to witness and honour the healing journey of the survivors and their families, and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation. Chief Justice Murray Sinclair challenged all participants to keep the reconciliation process alive, and as a result of the realization that every former student had similar stories. This date is held in recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children's sense of self-esteem and well-being, and as an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters. Staff and Students at North were encouraged to wear orange to school today, read the story of Phyllis Webstad, and were invited to sign an orange puzzle piece for a school wide activity at lunch in the North Gym. Thank you to everyone for participating! |

Burnaby North Student World War I Documentary Ace-it Film Project: "When I Get Home"
Rethink Initiative 2018-2019 The Port Moody Heritage Society and our students from North have been working on a film documentary for the 100 year Anniversary of the end of WWI. A group of about 30 students including writers, actors, directors, crew, sound, editors, makeup and more have been part of this ongoing project in the Port Moody Station Museum's WWI trench recreations. This film will be done in early April for the Society's 50th Anniversary. It has been such as success that CBC news asked to see it and came out to film parts of it, interview our students, and more. North students took over the CBC Youtube Channel and Instagram feed for Remembrance Day and portions of the interviews aired on CBC National on November 11th broadcasts. Amazing job everyone! |

Geography 12 Burrard Inlet & Indian Arm Boat Field Trip
Tuesday May 30th 2017
On Tuesday we took our Geography 12, AP Human Geography 12, Rethink, and Indigenous Education students on two boats (Oceanwatch I and Oceanwatch II) out on the water! We left from Rocky Point Park and did a harbour tour of the inlet and then up into Indian Arm before heading under the Second Narrows (Iron Workers Memorial) Bridge into the harbour. We made a lunch stop at the Lonsdale Quay and then made our way back to Rocky Point. Students were able to see the Port in action, cargo and oil tankers, the Kinder Morgan site, Suncorp, a BC Ferry on dry-dock in North Van , Imperial oil refineries, and MUCH MUCH more. Students were given a unique opportunity to see Vancouver and it's port activities/industries from the water and examine the environmental impact of all of it on our waterways. We also were able to identify and point out traditional First Nations lands, settlement areas, and historic sites along the tour from Port Moody to North Vancouver. Although a bit wet and rainy, a great time was had by all!

Flexible Classroom Seating
A New Classroom Model...2016
I have been doing a lot of reading on the idea of 'Flexible Classroom Seating' and was intrigued by the idea of students having a more comfortable space for their learning. Many elementary schools have adopted this model but it was hard to find high schools who had tried. I decided to try it out! As of April 2016 I got rid of all my classroom desks and opted for a more flexible approach. Only time will tell if this works or not but so far the response from students and staff has been very positive. For more information on this model of classroom seating, check out the following links:
