Notice to all parents regarding Fee Receipts:  IB Fees can not be used for tax purposes. See the information provided under “For Parents” regarding Canada Revenue. Consequently, receipts will only be issued to parents who request a fee receipt, as a way to cut down on paper use.  You may email julie_neeb@wrdsb.ca for a receipt for fees paid for the current school year (2017-2018), or you may send your student in to pick up a receipt from Ms Neeb.  Thanks!

Great Summer Opportunity

Hello students!

Plans for the Faculty of Education’s LEAP (Laurier Enriched Academic Program) Summer 2018 Enrichment Day Camps are well underway and we’re wondering if you or someone you know might be interested in volunteering. This is a wonderful opportunity to gain experience working with children in a fun, educational atmosphere! All camps are held on the Waterloo campus.

LEAP camps are geared towards gifted/ highly able students who are in Grades 1-9. Camps are designed and led by certified teachers with the assistance of our volunteers. Our programming offers fun, challenging activities in an engaging environment, with topics including coding, robotics, art, inventing, writing, biology, astronomy and more!

We have been fortunate to have great volunteers for past camps including certified teachers, university students/ grads and high school students. We understand that our volunteers are busy and may not be able to commit to two weeks of full time volunteering, and we are always glad to work around our volunteers’ schedules. Many volunteers help out for half days or just a handful of days over the two weeks – whatever works for you! These hours can also be counted towards your community service requirement.

LEAP CAMPS: July 9-13 & July 16-20

VOLUNTEER TIMES: Morning – 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., Afternoon – 11:45 – 4:45 p.m. or Full day – 8:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. (with a lunch break)

Application form: https://www.wlu.ca/information-for/community-members/camps-and-youth-programs/leap/assets/forms/leap-volunteer-application-form.html.

Permission form (if under 18): https://www.wlu.ca/information-for/community-members/camps-and-youth-programs/leap/assets/forms/leap-volunteer-permission-form.html

Applications are due by June 11; however, we will continue accepting applications as long as we still need volunteers. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Camp descriptions and registration details are posted on our website, www.wlu.ca/leap. If you do not have a current (dated July 20, 2017 or later) Police Check for the Vulnerable Sector, LEAP will cover the $10 cost for you.

Please feel free to pass this e-mail along to anyone whom you think may be interested.

Thank you,

Andrea Swinson

External Programs Coordinator,

OVERVIEW OF THE IB PROGRAMME

The IB programme allows students to explore their personal and academic interests via the International Baccalaureate model. Depending on their post-secondary aspirations and learning goals, students have the option of completing individual IB courses or completing the full IB Diploma. Both program options are valuable and should be chosen based on individual student needs.  Please explore our “About”, “For Parents” and “IB Curriculum Summaries” Pages for a more detailed explanation of student options.

CONTACTS

Please contact Julie Neeb at Cameron Heights if you have questions about the IB Programme.
