Cooperative Education @ Eastdale

Cooperative Education @ Eastdale is a vibrant program that provides students with the opportunity to experience various careers and work placements in hair salons, elementary schools, daycare, and grocery stores. 

One placement example is Josh Harrison-Maul (above) who was accepted into the Toronto Police Services Co-op program, Scarborough Collision Reporting Centre.  He assists the officers with a variety of tasks which include: re-organizing their filing system,  and assisting officers with the public. As with all of our coop students it's a win win situation for both students and their placement.

Wilderness Activity Group @ Camp Kearney

WAG Trip to Kearney

This year, Eastdale’s Wilderness Activity Group travelled to the Scarborough Outdoor Education School (SOES) in Kearney, Ontario for a four-day, three-night wilderness experience. Twenty students and four staff travelled up on a coach bus on February 20th.  We were greeted by friendly staff who helped us get settled into our cabins and gave us a tour around the beautiful area. We were served three delicious meals a day and participated in many outdoor activities including: tobogganing, skating, cross-country skiing, orienteering, a game of predator-prey, a tour of the maple sugar shack and an outdoor cookout.  We had a great time! It was a lot of fun to experience the great outdoors with Eastdale staff and students alike. Another win for the WAG!
