A gold medal for FNSS’s robotics team!

Students from Fort Nelson Secondary participated in the Skills Canada Regional competition held in Dawson Creek on January 31st, 2014.
This event saw students from School Districts 81 (Fort Nelson), 59 (South Peace) and 60 (North Peace) competing in a variety of trades related fields.
This is Fort Nelson Secondary’s first year competing in the Robotics event at this competition where FNSS students Taylor Ohlmann and Dustin Bramhill, beat out six teams from Fort St. John to bring home a gold medal in this event. With their gold medal win, Dustin and Taylor qualify to attend the Provincial level competition in Abbotsford in April.
Thanks to Imperial Oil for providing funding to FNSS allowing us to bring robotics programming into our school.
Congratulations to the FNSS cosmetology students (Kayla Curtis, Kayley Blize, Mallory Wark, Bev McArthur, Joey-Lynn Rattray, Emilee Beckett) and teacher Deb Brown who also competed in the Skills Canada Regional competition for a second year.
There are 14 regional Skills Canada competitions held across BC where students demonstrate their trades skills in events including carpentry, baking, cosmetology, welding, computer graphics, robotics, among others.
We look forward to taking even more SD81 students to compete in next years event.
