After the buzz about Passion Projects online and having the opportunity to pursue our passions and interests, we decided to build Passion Project time into our timetable. During 2011-12 we had the opportunity to have a Passion Project Expo showing all the projects from our grade 6, 7, and 8 class. For more information about our Expo please click here.
“What makes you come alive and how can you utilize your gift to make change?” Passionate people have a contagious zest that inspires and motivates. This is a simple truth of profound importance that the Passion Project embodies and communicates. So, what do we do? We create the opportunities and provide the resources for young people to invest in and develop the extracurricular pursuits that enhance their lives… Rooted in the belief that passion is catalytic and a power to transform, we are committed to engaging passion for purposeful living. – The Passion Project (UBC)
