It is one of the highlights every spring in the Vernon School District.
Students exhibit their work at the District Project Scholarship Showcase, set for Wednesday, May 1, to Friday, May 3.
More than 80 Grade 12 students from across the district will present their projects in competition for scholarships worth $1,250, provided by the Ministry of Education and Childcare.
The bursaries are to be used toward tuition at a post-secondary institution.
“The District Project Scholarship Showcase is an exciting event for our district,” said Luke Friesen, director of instruction for learning. “These projects provide students a personalized learning opportunity to identify and explore an area of interest, and then share their learning and talents with the community.
Students have been working on these projects alongside a sponsor teacher who offers support and guidance throughout the process. For some students, these projects provide opportunities for them to explore future careers.
The public can attend the showcase for free. Projects that require a performance will take place at Clarence Fulton Secondary Wednesday, May 1, starting at 6 p.m.
Those wanting to attend the display projects can do so from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday, at the Vernon Recreation Centre.

“Thank you to our many community volunteers who assist in judging the student projects,” said district superintendent Christine Perkins. “We appreciate your expertise and the connections you will make with our students through the questions and feedback you provide. This is an excellent opportunity for the students to share their learning in unique ways.”
