The Grade 9  “Aboriginal Arts & Culture”  classes of 2013-2014 have set up a gallery display at the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board Office in Napanee (141 Dairy Ave, Napanee).  Students and parents are encouraged to drop in and view the great display of artwork! 

Beadwork inspired by First Nations weaving and beadwork. Students express personal style and individuality through one of a kind designs and unique, individual colour choices. Weaving looms are used as students become proficient with the same weaving process applied to rug, blanket and belt weavings.

The students in the grade 11 visual art class have created some new pieces for their sculpture unit. These sea-themed sculptures are made from paper and clay.
