Hello, and welcome to Riverside Secondary School. I am your teacher, Mr. Barrington. The English classes that I have taught are English Studies 12, English First Peoples Honours 11, English 10 and English Language Arts 9. I also teach PHE 10 and PHE 9. I am also one of the coaches for the Riverside Cross-Country and SpikeBall teams. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email at pbarrington@sd43.bc.ca. If you would like to talk to me in person, you can find me in Portable 1 or in the gym. I am looking forward to teaching you this upcoming semester.

Some interesting points or ideas to think about throughout the semester.

This is one question that I have been asking myself these past few days after reading the novel, “Little Brother,” by Cory Doctorow. Our sense of what is a hero can apply to everyone that we know or meet in our lives.
