Creator Olympics

Creator Olympics is a program designed to encourage and recognize all creative arts within in Sun West schools as well as on a division-wide level.

There are two elements within the Creator Olympics. One element is a series of workshops and other training sessions that are offered on a school or regional level as well as some that are offered at the division level. Each workshop or training session will focus on specific creative skills in such fields as digital storytelling, communications skills, performance and acting, social media content creation and more.

The second element is a point system that recognizes schools and individual students for creative projects and activities. Students and schools receive points for creative activities whether they are voluntary and personal, extracurricular or curricular. There will be two categories, one for larger schools and one for smaller schools. In each category the school with the largest number of points will receive a banner (similar to provincial sports championship banners) for display in their schools, and there will be various awards for individual students in such areas as performance, storytelling, visual creations and more. In the spring there will be a division-wide Showcase and Awards event to recognize creative work.

More information on how the program will work and how to get involved will come out closer to the beginning of the school year.
