A new space for inquiry and exploration.

Welcome to the William Watson Library Learning Commoms - a place to inquire, explore, grow and learn in a warm and welcoming environment. We have added beautiful s-shaped tables, comfortable couches and chairs, iPads, Maker Space Kits and even a 3-D printer.  Students have already commented on how exciting it is to have an updated space that offers new learning opportunities.

 On the last week of school, our grade 7 class had the opportunity to imagine and create "the ultimate vehicle that they would love to take with them on summer vacation". They used materials from our new Maker Space Kits, and built some amazing modes of transportation!
