Year End Exams

                                                                       Year End Exams

            There are only a few more weeks left of the school year and the students are pulling out their Unit 1 notes to begin studying for the year end final exams at Sulli. The class exams from periods one through five will be held in a total of three days from June 13th, 16th and 17th. June 13th will hold the period one and three exams. On June 16th, the period two and four exams will take place and on school completion day, the 17th, will be when period five exams are in session. The provincial exams however will carry on for a consecutive nine day period from June 18th to June 26th. June 26th will also be the day that the last report card is issued. 

         Within such a short time period the students will need to review their semester two and linear courses notes to prepare for these exams. The teachers will also need to finish any new units with their classes and therefore add to the amount of studying the students are already required to do. Exam time is always a harsh period of time for the students however, because they stress about them far too much. The stress sometimes causes the students to blank out on the actual exam which is the worst thing that could possibly happen. Below, are some links that show how to help cope with the exam stress. It's always difficult for students to study as well, and re-learn everything over a second time, so links for sites on study tips are also posted below.

Yearbooks

Yearbooks

 

        Yearbooks are on sale once again at Sulli as the school photographers finish up with their long collection of photos within the last several weeks of school remaining. These memorabilia can be paid for at the school office for a fee of fifty dollars, and will be picked up at the end of the year. These books are important memories of our  high school years and it's necessary that at least one book is bought before the end of our glorious five years at Sulli. There have been so many fun events and clubs which even if some of the students are not a part of, there is always that one picture at the beginning of the year that Sulli students can look back at maybe ten years later and tell their children,

"That was me!"

 

     These yearbooks are an important and, you could say, essential part of our lives which tell us about the years we went through that shaped us into the people we will someday become. There are so many enjoyable moments that we cannot forget and many of them will be in that book. Treasure the time you had when you maybe attended the Halloween Fashion show, or when you helped out Global Issues with Earth week. It doesn't even have to be something incredible. Even that single picture of yourself, will tell you what memories you obtained just by being there with your friends. Enjoy the time now, because you will not be able to do the same after and cherish the memories.

The AIM Games

The AIM Games

 

 

       On Thursday, May 8th, Sullivan Heights hosted the annually famous AIM Games for the first time. The AIM Games or the Athletes in Motion event that was held on Thursday at the school, was a truly inspiring event where students with disabilities could let go and have fun for a day and play different sports and games such as wheelchair basketball or Bocci. The games had a positive impact on everyone who participated; from the student volenteers to the athletes participating. Students from different schools all over the district came to either play or participate on some way. Introductions were exchanged and everyone there had an amazing experience. It was truly about the positive vibe that spread like wildfire throughout the gym at Sulli. However, the events were not only held at the gym but throughout the school as well. The small gym, lower field, upper field, and dance room were also occupied.

      The AIM Games included a BBQ and breaks in between for the volunteers. The most amazing part of the entire event though was the closing ceremony, when all of the winning athletes were given medals for their participation, enthusiasm and a well-played game and a dance that was performed by some of the athletes and volunteers who worked and practiced their routine for seven weeks. It was really amazing to see everyone come together in one place and enjoy everything together. As a community. Smiles and fun times is what really made this event possible. It was truly a moving, positive experience.
