2011 Symposium
On Thursday June 9 and 10 2011 KDSS held a symposium instead of regular classes. The name of the symposium is Today's Kids; Tomorrow's Village. The symposium is to present students from grades 9–12 with a variety of workshops and speakers to increase their awareness of issues related to making healthy life choices now, and positive life choices when they are parents or aunts or uncles or neighbours themselves.
Keynote Speakers included:
- Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author who has specialized in the study of the psychology of killing, which has been termed 'killology'.
- Justin Trudeau, Canadian politician and the Member of Parliament
- Dr. Jackson Katz, America's leading anti-sexist activists, and experts on violence, media and masculinity
- A.R., real life victim of cyber and sexual assault.
