Three students at WOSS have taken it upon themselves to help youth artists in the community attain a foothold in the business world this fall. Grade 11 Students Sonya Zhang, Jacqueline Shi and Abi Sudharshan created the campaign “Venture Into Art” as a part of their DECA project with hopes to mobilize artistic individuals in our local community, having them realize the potential of entrepreneurship as a legitimate career and source of income as both a teen and an adult. Taken that youth entrepreneurs are currently in deficit; the campaign was practical as it sought to harvest a surplus of perhaps undiscovered talent and skill.

Excitingly in the past few years a change has occurred, and that change is the introduction of the White Oaks Ultimate Frisbee Team.

The first semester of the 2015-2016 school year has  been a spectacular one for the music department at White Oaks . Thanks to the efforts of our extremely proactive Student Council, Students returned to newly painted and refurbished music rooms. All ensembles and groups, thanks to their wonderful conductors, Mr. Gassi and Mr. Fraser, were promptly running with renewed vigour. In late September, the concert band and concert choir went collectively on a retreat to Ancaster, where bonding activities and rehearsals were enjoyed by all in attendance. The point of this outing was to prepare  for the busy semester that awaited them.
