École Arbour Vista Public School

The School Council at Rickson Ridge Public School is excited to offer parents, guardians and caregivers a reflective workshop that is sure to impact how we view this wonderful and diverse world of ours! We will consider how our individual experiences, the media, and our relationships, impact how we understand ourselves and our community. We are happy to extend our event to Ecole Arbour Vista parents/guardians! 

When parents/guardians and caregivers are involved, our schools become a more thriving and positive place to learn and grow. This interactive session is framed with the understanding that we play a vital role in education, making connections from the classroom to the home.

Led by a facilitator from social change organization Unlearn. Parents and caregivers will engage with Unlearn graphics to identify what each image is communicating, why we may see different things, and to consider how we can expand our ideas to understand each other’s perspectives. The process will help explore strategies that can be used to interrupt bias, stereotypes and discrimination by challenging societal norms that marginalize others.

The event is free, as are the refreshments for parents/guardians. Our session is on Wednesday, March 27th at Rickson Ridge Public School. Doors will open at 6:00pm and the session will run from 6:30-7:45pm. You must be registered to attend.

Free baby-sitting will be available in the school while you attend the workshop. With the exception of young infants, children will not be permitted to join the workshop. Parents/guardians are not permitted to leave the school building while their children are in the school building.
