This year has felt like it’s gone by so fast, I can’t believe it’s already the end of grade 10. With the year coming to a close it’s that time again when we do our PLP presentations of learning called tPOLS. If you’re not sure what presentations of learning are, twice a year instead of parent teacher interviews, we present…
ePACT Job Shadow
One of the required courses for grade 10 students is Planning 10 which includes learning about career planning, work safety, personal development and smart goals. A big part of this course is doing a job shadow with a career you find interesting and or something you want to do when you’re older. I have no idea what I want to…
Saving Money with System of Equations
Recently in Math we finished up a mini math project on system of equations. System of Equations is a system of multiple equations with the same set of unknowns, when solving the equations your trying to find the unknown. These equations can be a linear or non linear equation. The project we were introduced to was trying to solve the…
Bc Tech Summit Well Actually Volleyball Nationals
The Last Wednesday, our class was lucky enough to get to go to the BC Tech Summit, which unfortunately I didn’t get to attend as I had Volleyball Nationals in Edmonton. The BC Tech Summit is the largest tech conference in Western Canada. At this conference, thousands of people get the amazing opportunity to listen to people who push the boundaries…

World War Two was the most destructive conflict in history. More than an estimated 80 million people died during the span of only 6 years. Over the past couple of months since spring break our PLP 10 class has been learning about WWII. This new unit takes off from where we left off in the interwar years, where we learned…
Linear Equations and Renewable Energy
For the past couple of months in science we have been learning about Energy which has been our grade 10 physics unit. At the same time in math we were learning about linear equations and graphs which we incorporate both into one big unit project. Once we were introduced into this unit we created a mind map of what we…
All The Light We Cannot See
Recently in our PLP class we have been learning about the Second World War. This has been a pretty big unit that we started just before spring break and personally I love learning about this sort of history so I was really excited. To start off this unit we were assigned to read a WWII book. The book options we…
Ending on a High Note part 2!
Recently our PLP program competed in the provincial tournament of Destination Imagination. This was our third year competing and I think my team definitely “Ended on a High Note”, coming in second place in the fine arts challenge. Although there were only 4 teams competing in our challenge in our age group, 2nd was still good considering only 2 of…
Ending On a High Note!
Just last weekend we competed in the Destination Imagination Regionals competition held at our very own school, Seycove Secondary. This is the third year our PLP classes competed in these competitions, so we have had quite a bit of experience with what these challenges are all about. Destination Imagination is a program that embraces some of the core aspects we…
Elephant toothpaste
For the past couple of months in Science we have been learning about chemistry. This has been a pretty big unit that at times has been difficult to grasp different concepts or ideas. Overall this unit has been very fun especially when we get to do experiments in class to demonstrate our understanding. One of the the first things we…
