Boussole Program Teachers hasn't added a story.

The Boussole Environmental Leadership Program is a 4-credit integrated education program at École secondaire Ronald-Marion, a publicly-funded French-language high school in Pickering, Ontario. The program is being launched in February 2018 and we have 18 motivated, eager and ambitious Grade 11 students signed up to participate. Students will be studying English, Chemistry, Geography and Leadership through an environmental lens and project-based learning.

The goals of the program are to:

  • Develop a connection to the environment and an appreciation of its critical role in ensuring a functional and healthy society.
  • Provide students with an educational experience that emphasizes environmental studies and science to better understand the importance of environmental sustainability in every discipline.
  • Promote experiential and inquiry-based learning to bring the classroom to life.
  • Help students be better prepared to make responsible decisions and be positive contributors to society.

To achieve these goals, we want to move the classroom into the environment. We would like to take two week-long trips:

  • February 2018: 4 days at a winter chalet in Killbear Provincial Park. While trekking through the park on snowshoes, we'll learn about orienteering and the chemistry of snow. We'll discuss the role and importance of water to society through nightly documentary film screenings by the fireplace.
  • June 2018: 5 days in Frontenac Provincial Park. With everything on our backs, we'll trek into the wilderness for 5 days of backcountry camping. We'll discuss the management of forests and analyze the chemistry of pristine lake water to compare it to urban watersheds. We'll learn the power of storytelling while sitting around a campfire and staring at the stars. For most students, this will be the first camping trip of their lives and an experience they'll never forget. 

In the past year, we have received over $15000 in internal and external funding to purchase the equipment required for these trips. We have tents, backpacks, snowshoes, etc. Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to find funding to cover operating costs.

The estimated cost of both trips is $7500 (transportation, camping/chalet fees, food and materials). Our students have already raised approximately $2500 through the sale of environmentally-conscious products and a community trivia night. We are reaching out for your help in getting us to the $7500 we need!

Le programme de leadership environnemental Boussole est un programme d'éducation intégrée de quatre crédits à l'École secondaire Ronald-Marion, une école francophone publique à Pickering, en Ontario.Ce sera lancé en février 2018 et nous avons 18 élèves de 11e année motivés, enthousiastes et ambitieux qui se sont inscrits. Les étudiants étudieront l'anglais, la chimie, la géographie et le leadership à travers une lentille environnementale et un apprentissage par projet.

Les objectifs du programme sont les suivants:

  • Développer une appréciation de la nature et de sa nécessité pour le fonctionnement et le bien-être de notre société.
  • Fournir aux élèves une éducation en sciences et en études de l’environnement pour les habiliter à mieux comprendre l’importance de la durabilité écologique.
  • Préconiser l’éducation par l’enquête et l’expérience afin de maîtriser les concepts et thèmes qui seront abordés dans le programme.
  • Aider les élèves à s’orienter en tant qu’individus et membres d’une société élargie.

Pour atteindre ces objectifs, nous voulons déplacer la salle de classe dans l'environnement. Nous aimerions faire deux voyages d'une semaine:

  • Février 2018: 4 jours dans un chalet d'hiver dans le parc provincial Killbear. En randonnée dans le parc en raquettes, nous apprendrons à faire de la course d'orientation et explorerons la chimie de la neige. Nous discuterons du rôle et de l'importance de l'eau pour la société au moyen de projections documentaires nocturnes au coin du feu.
  • Juin 2018: 5 jours au parc provincial Frontenac. Avec tout ce que nous avons sur le dos, nous irons à pied pour 5 jours de camping sauvage. Nous discuterons de la gestion des forêts et analyserons la chimie de l'eau du lac afin de la comparer aux bassins hydrographiques urbains. Nous apprendrons la puissance de la narration en étant assis autour d'un feu de camp et en regardant les étoiles. Pour la plupart des étudiants, ce sera le premier voyage de leur vie et une expérience qu'ils n'oublieront jamais.

Au cours de la dernière année, nous avons reçu plus de 15 000 $ en financement interne et externe pour acheter l'équipement nécessaire à ces voyages. Nous avons des tentes, des sacs à dos, des raquettes, etc. Malheureusement, il est beaucoup plus difficile de trouver des fonds pour couvrir les coûts d'opération.

Le coût estimé des deux voyages est de 7500 $ (frais de transport, de camping / chalet, nourriture et matériel). Nos élèves ont déjà amassé environ 2500 $ grâce à la vente de produits respectueux de l'environnement et à une soirée communautaire. Nous sollicitons votre aide pour nous faire parvenir les 7500 $ dont nous avons besoin!
