Week of Sept. 9 - 13


Required: All students must have a 2-4gb SD card. This is considered  their notebook for photography. These can be purchased at London Drugs, Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart, or Superstore. You should not pay any more than $15 dollars for a card. If students do not have their SD card with them in class, they will not be able to take photos. A back up card might be a good idea.












Access to cameras: Students will have access to decent digital SLR cameras for in school use. Out of school borrowing of cameras will require parents and students to sign a waiver acknowledging parental/and or student responsibility to pay replacement costs for a camera if it is lost, stolen or severely damaged while in the care of the student. Students are expected to return the cameras the next school day following borrowing so that they are available in class for other students to use.
