Ridge 360 - Debrief
Wednesday, March 2, 2016
Dear Dani
Dear Dani,
Do I have to go to Ridge 360?
Hi!
Ridge 360 is our school’s conference this year. People have been planning this conference since September and there is a huge group of people involved. Not only are there passionate students running workshops, there are also some amazing speakers that you for sure don’t want to miss! Professional speakers are coming in for this, that’s right, people who speak for a living have generously taken time out of their busy schedules to come. Many people, resources, a lot of time and effort has been put on this, so it may never happen again, thus, don’t think just because you’re not in grade 12 you’ll get another chance. There are even people from other schools coming just to take advantage of this great opportunity. If that isn’t incentive enough to come on your own accord, yes it is mandatory. Ridge 360 should be treated as a normal school day, attendance will be taken. As well, there will be a marked reflection to be completed at the end of the day that will go in to your last period’s final mark. However, despite this, I highly recommend going just for the amazing experience and the knowledge you will take from it, as well to support your hard working peers.
Sincerely,
Dani
