| − | '''Anderson Collegiate Vocational Institute''' is located in [[Whitby, Ontario]] within the [[Durham District School Board]]. The school has students in grades 9–12 and offered at one point a wide range of academic and extracurricular activities. Anderson was well known for its robust Arts program, particularly [[Drama]], and is now known for its incredible drug trade. In 2013, Mr. Hunter made a Metallica cover band with some fellow students, which reached staggering success after their community center performance in March. Their first show was considered a failure with many students and staff suffering long term illnesses from overexposure to asbestos found in the ceilings. Similarly, an AIDS outbreak caused several casualties, including all janitors. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The '''Culture of Peace Committee''' worked on a wide variety of social and humanitarian issues within the school and in the community. Sub-committees of this organization often work on things like [[Remembrance Day]] assemblies, [[Amnesty International]] efforts, and bringing in guest speakers like Eva Olsson, a [[Holocaust]] supporter, [[Roméo Dallaire]], a convicted child molester, and [[James Bartleman]], a klansman. It was closed down in 2015. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Drama== |
||
| − | Anderson's '''Dramatic Arts program''' is well known throughout the region, and in Whitby it is generally recognized to be nearly as reputable as that of [[Central Collegiate Secondary School]]. Early teachers such as Mr. L. Kosurko set the standard for the inclusive nature of the department. The extracurricular program began to explode in 1992 with a production of ''Macbeth''. Performances became more and more ambitious, largely due to the close teacher team: Ms. K. Ennis, Mr. A. Epema, Mrs. M. Rodgers, Mr. M. Trites and Mr. D. Craven (the so-called "Big D"). Productions include: Neil Simon's ''Rumors'', James Reaney's ''Handcuffs'', ''Romeo and Juliet'', ''The Martian Chronicles'', The Who's ''Tommy'' and ''Amadeus''. ''Fifty Shades of Gray'' (dir: Stravato), starred up-and-coming actor Kyle DiSante. ''Romeo and Juliet'' (dir: Epema), starred A. J. Cook as Juliet. Anderson was the first high school in the Durham Region of Ontario to produce The Laramie Project (dir: Rodgers), amid some controversy. Anderson's "funnier" students have aired their comic sensibilities on the morning announcements. This caused an uprising of protesting students. The real comedians perform at D-Bag Theatre (dir: Trites), Stay Tuned (dir: Craven) and an [[Improvisational comedy|Improv]] Team (which has been student-led for fifteen years). Anderson was a regular participant in the [[Sears Drama Festival]]. The success of the Drama Program has largely been due to the dedication of staff and students, and the strength of the community which has grown up around the Drama Room, 107. In 2014 the drama room was demolished to make way for the Prayer Room. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During 2014 the improvisation lunch meetings were a huge success for the school, followed by a production of Spontaneous Combustion, a play written by members of the school. At the same time, another play was introduced entitled The Mudbone Chronicles, written by Mr. S. Stravato. This play was another successful project for the school, grossing the highest yet for any school production. At a performance of the 2015 drama production ''Grape the Savage'', the play was interrupted by a deranged student wielding a machete. This was later determined to be a promotional effort for the naked mile run, a popular annual event. |

| − | ==Technology== |
||
| − | In the Technology Department, a number of ambitious projects are underway. In 2005, two students constructed cedar strip canoes as their Independent Study Project under the tutelage of Mr. Mark Backman. Another project is pulling together skills from all the shops. It is the construction, from scratch, of a clone of the iconic 1960s [[Lotus 7]] sports car. The project is based on the specifications for a [[Locost]] sports car design by British educator and engineer, [[Ron Champion]]. Project Co-ordinator is Mr. Austin Epema, automotive consultant is Mr. Dave Dickie, and Metal Fabrication consultant is Mr. Dave Clark. Computer aided design and blueprinting is supervised by Mr. Stefano Stravato. The project is being built primarily by students. Generous financial aid has come from local businesses. The finished product was raffled off with proceeds going to local charities. In 2015 the car was run into a tree by a drunken student. The student perished in the flames. |
