​Kindergarten students from Amy Woodland enjoy Wilderness Wednesday activities that included snow art, a winter bakery, stories and sledding.

From snowshoeing to hiking to gathering items in nature for art, to outdoor survival skills, Highlands is getting outdoors this winter!

Students in Ms. Zimich's class at Kootenay Orchards enjoyed spending time outside making tarp shelters as an extension of the novel Paathki Nana.  Thank you to student teacher, Josie Ruoss for these wonderful outdoor experiences.

​On Friday, January 31 a Community Connections Outdoor Workshop facilitated by Dave Quinn was held for teachers in School District 5.

​Mr. Gulyas' PE 9 students were given the opportunity by the Fernie Nordic Center to try their trails this January 16th and 17th. Students were very lucky with conditions being so perfect.

​ On December 11, 2019  grade 7/8 students from Fernie Secondary School, led by Harmony Lloyd, participated in the Hackergal Hackathon.  The theme of the day was, "Leaders in HERstory". Students were challenged to collaborate with their teammate to code a game or story using the Lynx platform.
