Robotics Program
The Woburn Robotics Team 188 is a multi-award winning team. Woburn is the first Canadian team to compete in the FIRST (For Inspirational and Recognition for Science and Technology) Robotics competition. FIRST is a multinational engineering contest in which the community works together to brainstorm, design, problem solve, construct and test their robot prior to any competition. Woburn continues our robotics legacy through the mentorship and leadership of new students by former students.
Student Support and the Woburn Community
Student Support at Woburn C.I. is a team effort. Guidance counsellors, the Special Education Department, Student Success and F.O.S. work together to support all of our students through all transitions to be academically successful in high school.
Student Success Programs assist students’ educational pathways. Credit Recovery and Credit Rescue Programs give students the opportunity to earn credits alternatively. Focus on Success (F.O.S) provides support to students to help them cope with the academic rigour and social, emotional and behavioural expectations of a collegiate setting.
Academic Excellence
Woburn students achieve success in a number of pathways preparing them for the future. Each year, Woburn celebrates a large number of Ontario Scholars and the majority of our students are accepted into the college or university of their choice. A school-wide cross curriculum with an emphasis on literacy and numeracy helps to prepare students for post secondary pursuits.
The Gifted Program and Special Education
Our Gifted Program provides a seamless transition for students coming from the elementary gifted program. We support our gifted students with a dedicated program leader who tracks student progress and consults with the student, teachers and parents.
The Special Education Department works to ensure that students who are in need of individual support receive it.
Literacy/Numeracy Support Courses Gr.9 and 10
In the Literacy/Numeracy support courses, students are enrolled in two sections of Math or English at the applied level with added support through locally-developed curriculum. Students are provided with intensive support and constant exposure to literacy and numeracy on a daily basis. Courses cater to an individual’s learning style, readiness and capabilities.
Co-curricular Programming
Woburn offers extensive co-curricular programming. Some of our programs include Music Council, the Media Arts Program, Skills Canada and F1 in schools, business challenges such as SBC Stock Market Challenge and DECA, and over 27 successful sports teams running throughout the year. We also offer extensive co-operative education programs.
