Green Stone Mingle – Come and Support our Grade 12 Students
February 23, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
As our graduates enter their final semester we come together as a community to support the preparation for their Green Stone presentations in June.
The Bridge is hosting multiple meetings, and in each of them, 4 students will share their path, their challenges and we will have the opportunity to offer them guidance, suggestions, and most of all love and strength in such an important period of their lives.
A requirement for every Green School graduate is a capstone project, known as Green Stone. Green Stone is a year-long inquiry and process where students demonstrate a mastery of core skills and Green School skills. This can be a passion project, an area of interest, or a solution to a real-world problem. The Green Stone experience culminates in a 13-minute TED-style talk the week before graduation. It is a life-changing experience and prepares every student for their next adventure and arguably for the rest of their life. Green Stone is a process and an experience that not only develops skills but also provides a platform to demonstrate mastery of those skills.

A Look in the “Green” Mirror – Chloe Jenkinson
Our name is “Green” School but how green are we really? And are we actually learning enough about topics like climate change in class? In my opinion, not really. For my greenstone, I want to talk about these things and teach my own informative and practical class on climate change through the perspective of a sustainable art class (and work to integrate more classes like this into our curriculum). Also, why are our credit requirements the same as any other school? Let’s introduce some climate/sustainability credits into the requirements!
Where do I need help?: I have never taught before so that is an area I might need some help/tips with.
Comfort in discomfort – Tarn Hutton
MY project is about finding comfort in uncomfortable situations. I am going to live with a tribe in the Mentawais and see what it is like living without the luxuries I have learned to live with. The theory of enjoying discomfort is very interesting to me, and I believe that some of the best experiences and most growth come from it.
