We are proud to recognize Allie Houser, a graduating student from the Aviation Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program at Sandwich Secondary School, for her outstanding initiative in creating a meaningful learning experience for her peers.
Allie recently organized an enriching visit to the University of Waterloo for Grade 11 SHSM Aviation students participating in the Check Pilot program. As part of the visit, students had the opportunity to meet with renowned aviation expert Dr. Suzanne Kearns, PhD. Dr. Kearns delivered a compelling presentation on the future of aviation, sparking thoughtful discussion and curiosity among the group.
The day also included a dynamic aviation-themed activity that encouraged collaboration and deepened student engagement. A major highlight was the chance for each student to explore the university’s state-of-the-art flight simulator, gaining hands-on experience that brought their classroom learning to life.
This exceptional opportunity not only broadened students’ perspectives but also ignited their passion for aviation. We extend our sincere thanks to Allie for her leadership and to the University of Waterloo for its generous support and hospitality.
