Human & Social
Our students will study personal and human social skills and as they relate to students' identity in the world - both as individuals and as members of their community. We are learning that personal and human social skills encompass the abilities students needs to thrive as individuals, to understand and care about themselves and others, and to find and achieve their purposes in the world.
Our students have worked hard to show care and compassion by organizing a food drive. Both non-perishable food items as well as cash were collected over a two-week period, raising close to $1500 and numerous boxes of food to be donated within the community.
This fall, our leadership students took part in an important volunteer opportunity with the Silver Fox Run at Tabor Home. Students first supported the residents in their participation of the Terry Fox/Silver Fox event and then worked and visited alongside residents after the run gardening, tidying up, and generally enjoying time together.
Over two years, RHSS students worked to raise money for the Cops for Cancer bike tour in support of childhood cancers. After raising around $800, RHSS staff and students welcomed the riders as they made their way through our building's main floor.
It's not just the students who have all the fun and connection. RHSS staff are big into participation! Diwali 2024 is no exception.
