HUGE congratulations to Metchosin Tech teacher, Laura Verhoeven!

As part of her award, Verhoeven received $5,000. Metchosin Technical Centre: Pacific Secondary School also received $5,000 to go towards the expansion or enhancement of a school science program, science resources, or the professional development of the school’s science teachers.

Thanks Laura for being a great inspiration for all of us in the community and SD62.
