SHSM Learning and Leadership Opportunities - Experiential Learning

​ The Joy of Painting in "Petrikivka Style" Many students from Ukraine continue to choose Thornlea SS for high-quality education in a safe and welcoming environment. All our Ukrainian students have joined the SHSM program to gain knowledge and experiences that can effectively inform their choices and help them plan for the future. They participate in many SHSM Arts and Culture workshops to learn new artistic techniques and skills. They especially enjoy this Petrikivka Painting project that relates to their cultural heritage and identity. These types of appreciations and community recognitions can go a long way toward building bonds with Canadian friends and adjusting to the new culture.
