Grade 6 Students Explore Trades in Motion

0:00Grade 6 students from Shedigway, Ormstown, and Hemingford got a taste of real-world jobs on Friday. The New Frontier School Board, South of Montreal, set up a hands-on trades and motion day at the Nova Career Center. Kids rotated through eight different vocations, from carpentry with drilling and hammering to car mechanics. They also checked out accounting, business, secretarial work, landscaping, drafting, and healthcare services. Many used safe simulators to handle big tools without risk. The event gave them a close-up look at daily tasks in these fields. Students walked away with fresh ideas about careers, discovering things like secretarial roles and hospitals in schools. Some even picked favorites, like landscaping, sparking interest, and hairdressing. Days like this early on can plant seeds for future paths and trades and services.
