On Wednesday 2 June 2004, the grade six students of Journey Middle School in Sooke visited the island and were given an explanation of how the island is maintained. They visited the marine science centre student residence and also ventured into the engine room. They were welcomed by students from Pearson College, Emmanuel, Paul and Michelle, who were staying on the Island for 2 weeks doing the Johann Ashuvud project. While there they participated in a live webcast.

The Diving Service Schools Project 1999
Link to our 1997-98 season of the Diving Service Schools Project.
In the spring term, 1999, the students of the Diving Service took groups of grade 7 students from the Sooke school district on field trips to the Marine Protected Area of Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. | |||||||||||||||||
GOALS OF THE DIVING SERVICE SCHOOLS PROGRAM:
In order to make the experience more enjoyable and informative for everyone, we suggest that the students do some research before coming on the field lab. It would make things more interesting if they could get a basic familiarity with some of the possible species in the different phylums which they will be seeing at Race Rocks.

SCHOOLS FIELD LAB PROJECT: In the late 1990’s the Pearson College Diving Service ran a series of field trips involving students of grade seven classes in the Sooke School District.The field trips were to the Pilot Study Marine Protected Area of Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. The students of the Diving Service took responsibility for designing the curriculum, organizing the trips and conducting the field trips. The files below came from an earlier version of the Pearson College website. This page will show some of the images from those trips and the exercises the Diving Service members designed for the grade 7 students.
