Library Learning Commons
 |
The new and improved Library Learning Commons provides a safe, friendly environment, offering a balanced collection of print and digital resources to meet both curricular and personal interest needs. Through virtual and physical learning partnerships, we provide integrated learning opportunities which are global, connected, social, cross-curricular and interdisciplinary. In partnership with classroom teachers, the teacher-librarian teaches guided inquiry, whereby students learn to define problems, form questions, explore ideas, analyse, synthesize and evaluate information and communicate new understandings. We strive to challenge students to think critically about the information they find, to instill in them a passion for reading and learning, and to equip them with multiple literacy skills for success in life after secondary school.
At CSS, students are encouraged to use the library to improve their information skills and enjoy the leisure reading area. Skills such as accessing, gathering, analyzing, synthesizing and communicating information are becoming increasingly necessary in the world today.
The teacher-librarian is available to assist students when accessing the electronic catalogue to locate books, films, magazines. There are computers available in the library for online research. We subscribe to several online databases, which allow students to access hundreds of magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, maps, transcripts and photos. The service is available from any internet-ready computer in the school and there is a home-user licence as well. The White Pine Book Club runs during second semester. The library also hosts visiting authors and poets from time to time. Listen to the announcements for contests.
Students’ Council
Students’ Council is elected each year by the student body. Council offers leadership opportunities in executive and representative positions. Students’ Council is a great way to get involved in secondary school life; students plan activities for the school and organize fundraisers to support the various clubs, sports, and events at CSS. Students’ Council members also have the opportunity to attend leadership camps and conferences.
The Drama Club
The Drama Club is welcoming to all. Students are able to gain self-confidence through performing in the school play or musical production. CSS students are able to participate in all aspects of theatre production including acting, producing, stage crew, and technical crew.
Yearbook
Writers, photographers, and creative minds are welcome to join in preserving memories of each school year. Students photograph events, create layouts for pages and write copy in this year-long project that will be enjoyed for years to come.
