Highlights from our team's thoughts about being a Cultural Ambassador
see more on the Personal Profiles |
What are some things you have learned about being a Cultural Ambassador that really stood out to you? I have found out that you are representing your whole community and not just your school.
How do you feel about your role as a Cultural Ambassador? I feel confident and good about it.
To learn from others? I'm always excited to learn new things.
What are the important things for this team to remember to do to be good Cultural Ambassadors? They always need to remember to respect others and listen to them.
What do you think the easiest part of being a Cultural Ambassador will be when you visit our Sister School community? Learning about their "everyday" lives and knowing who they are.
What do you think that you will have to work the hardest on to be a Cultural Ambassador? I think the hardest would be learning about their "cultural lives" |

Learning about survival in the Arctic indoors as it was too stormy (a descretionary school day) to go to the bluffs. |
|
|
| |
| Area for Exploration Two |
| Atikluks |
