HAWCS Visit

 Dear Lake Bonavista School community,

HAWCS Visit

We are very excited for an opportunity that has been provided to us by Mr. Conlin, Chief Engineer for the Calgary Police Service, Air Support Unit. On the morning of  Monday, June 5 one of the HAWCS helicopters will be visiting our school and doing a 45 minute presentation in our field. This is a unique opportunity for all students, in particular grade 6, who study air and aerodynamics as part of their science curriculum. The helicopter will land in the school field as classes watch with their teachers, from a safe distance. Once the helicopter has landed and shut down, the students will be brought over to sit in a large semi-circle beside the helicopter with their teachers.  The Pilot, Flight Officer, and Mr. Conlin, will do a brief presentation on the team and what they do.  Grade 6 students will then ask a series of prepared questions, about the aircraft, the operation, or aviation in general.  Once the questions are answered, the younger grades will return back to their learning with their teacher.  Grade 5-6 students will then have a brief, closer look at the aircraft.  The Grade 5-6 students will then have the opportunity to watch the helicopter start up and depart from a safe location.  

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher for more information.
