Biology Health Day

On Thursday, November 26, Biology 30 students participated in a Health Careers day where they visited various health locations around the community.  Students had the opportunity to participate in concurrent workshops that focused on different human biology topics, including mental health, sports injuries/concussions, lab & x-ray analysis, dentistry, athletic therapy, cancer care, and public health.  Thank-you to all the local groups and businesses who helped put on a great event!

Feedback from a survey the students did after the Bio / Health Day showed that the students had a wide range of interests from the day, over half now had an increased level of interest in pursuing a health related career, and that they highly recommended that this day continue to be offered to students.

When the ruthless Nero Sharpe dies suddenly after eating a meal at Luigi's Italian restaurant, everyone asks, "Who poisoned his meatball?"  after all, every patron in the place seems to have a motive to bump him off.

MPI Friends for Life

On Tuesday, November 17, Carman Collegiate grade 9 and 10 students welcomed Brent Thiebert, an MPI Friends for Life speaker to our school.  Brent shared his poignant story of the fateful night that forever changed his life. At the age of 20, Brent chose to drive impaired and caused a collision that took the life of one friend and critically injured another. Years later, Brent is still coping with the personal and legal consequences of impaired driving. Brent has been speaking to high school driver education students for several years and is an extremely effective communicator. He really helped our students understand that all it takes is one bad choice to tragically change your life forever.

WE Day

On Monday, November 16, 65 of our students will be joining 15 000 other Manitoba students when they travel to the MTS Centre for We Day.

We Day is a powerful, life-changing event that combines the energy of a live concert with the inspiration of extraordinary stories of leadership and change.
We Day brings together world-renowned speakers and award-winning performers with tens of thousands of young people to celebrate their contributions and kick-start another year of change.
We Day has evolved from a single event nearly eight years ago into a series of 14 stadium-sized events held across Canada, the United States and the UK. This past year, 200,000 students attended We Day and left inspired to create change at local and global levels.

You can’t buy a ticket to We Day. Students earn their event tickets by taking one local and one global action through We Schools, our yearlong educational program that engages and empowers young people to become compassionate leaders and active citizens. Some students collect food for homeless shelters. Others raise money to build classrooms overseas. Every young person makes their own journey to We Day, but together, they discover their power to change the world.

Remembrance Day

Carman Collegiate was pleased to welcome several Legion Members and guest speaker CAF WO Brian Vince Adams to our school Remembrance Day ceremony.  Student Council presidents Bailey G and Madi S recited "In Flanders's Field", followed by WO Adams presentation on his experiences in the armed forces.  WO Adams had been a Carman Collegiate student back in the 80's, and he still has family in the Roland Area.
