High School "Mini-Courses"
High school mini-courses are short courses (5-10 hours) that are delivered
by skilled community volunteers over a period of 4-6 weeks. Mini-courses
have been offered in Margaree since 1996 beginning in the elementary school.
Experience has shown that the months of November and April work best in
terms of availability of the volunteers and proximity to the middle of
the semester. The courses are offered concurrently and students sign up
for the mini-course of their choice. The objectives of the mini-course
program are to open opportunities for students to experience a range of
useful and/or traditional skills. Examples of mini-courses are:
- Archery
- Chess and Card Tricks
- Dance
- Electricity and Motors
- Flower Arranging
- Fly tying, Map and Compass
- Guitar and Drumming
- Journalism
- Painting and Drawing
- Public Speaking
- Radio Announcing
- Woodcarving
- Yoga
