Renewed Curriculum
This year Nova Scotia has introduced a fresh take on the old curriculum. Many subjects have had entire overhauls, while others just had some much needed minor tweaks. This all done with the intent of making the content more current and relatable to students and current issues that we face. With the renewed curriculum comes a focus on content that deals with more that one subject at a time and requires students to come together with their individual strengths to create larger, collaborative projects. Here you'll find the most up-to-date information on the collaborative projects that the grade 7s are working on.
