Grade 9 - Take your Kid to Work Day, Wednesday, November 1, 2017

October 19, 2017

The Grade 9 Counsellors are coordinating Take Your Kid to Work Day (please click on Take your Kid to Work Day for the consent form) on Wednesday November 1st - (Day 1 - 2314) for all Grade 9 Students at Carson Graham.  Here is a little background info, also please feel free to check out the following website http://www.thelearningpartnership.ca for additional info.

Take Our Kids to Work is an annual program Canada wide in which Grade 9 students spend the day in the workplace of a parent, relative, friend or volunteer experiencing and learning about the world of work. Held on the first Wednesday of November each year, the program supports career exploration and career readiness among Canadian public school students. Experiencing a “day in the life” of a professional within a workplace allows students to explore the world of work and helps them make informed educational decisions.  Launched in 1994, Take Our Kids to Work is the most recognized career readiness program in Canada with more than 200,000 students visiting workplaces every year on Take Our Kids to Work Day.

At Carson Graham we are very excited to offer this experience to our Grade 9 Students, as all Grade 9 classes will be cancelled that day to give students the opportunity to explore the world of work with their parents or an alternate.  Gayle Weyell and Kat Robb will be visiting Gr. 9 Socials classes next week to prepare your son/daughter.  At this time a parent consent form will be handed out that must be returned to their SS 9 teacher the following class.  Additional consent forms can be found on the Carson Graham website on the home page.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact your child's counsellor by phone 604 903 3555 or email.
