Why Personal Learning Time?

One of our school goals is to increase student engagement as we work within the framework of BC’s new curriculum. Through PLT, students will be able to access support during the school day. We believe that PLT will encourage a healthy school/life balance as many students are balancing a number of extra-curricular activities and out of school commitments.

What can students do during Personal Learning Time?

• Seek academic support (from teachers and/or peers)
• Complete homework 
• Complete assignments 
• Prepare for an upcoming quiz/test

• Work on a project (i.e. Personal Project, Capstone)
• Engaged reading
