Grade 6 Drum Making 2026

Grade 6 students have begun preparing and making their traditional Indigenous drums. This annual project is a highlight for our grade 6 students; symbolizing a right of passage, as they design and create their drum which will be gifted during their grade 6 leaving ceremony. With the support and guidance from cultural educators from WLFN, the grade 6 students learn the history and cultural significance of the drum prior to its creation and then work with the hide to put the drum into its form. Demonstrating independence and mastery through this project, students use this opportunity to learn and showcase their creativity and skills.
