2015 Student Safety Video Contest

2015 Student Safety Video Contest

10th annual Student Safety Video Contest - bigger and better than ever!

School is no place for bullies. Neither is work.

You have the right to a job that's free from bullying and harassment. Show respect to the people you work with and know you are entitled to respect from them.

Using the theme, No bullies at work - my right to a safe and respectful workplace, create a video (maximum 2 minutes) that explores the topic of bullying and harassment in the workplace.

When making your video, think of a creative way to get your message across. All styles of video are fair game: drama, comedy, documentary, music video, stop-motion, claymation, animation - the choice is yours!

There are categories for students in Grades 8-10, Grades 11-12 and a new category for post-secondary students under 25 years old.

Entries will be judged on their impact/transferable safety message, original creative concept, and technical execution. Winners take home cash prizes and may also advance to the It's Your Job national young worker video contest.

Need inspiration?
Read about new WorkSafeBC bullying and harassment policies and check out thewinning videos from 2006-2014. Learn more about your rights and responsibilities at work on the Young Worker portal.

WorkSafeBC student video contest

Cash prizes for students and schools for best on-theme entries Verbal aggression or yelling, humiliating initiation practices or hazing, spreading malicious rumours, and calling someone derogatory names – these are just some of the forms that bullying and harassment may take on the job. No worker should be the source of this kind of behaviour, nor the target of it. That’s the goal behind the 2015 Student Safety Video Contest. With the theme, No bullies at work: My right to a safe and respectful workplace, the contest challenges youth to create a two-minute video that explores the topic of bullying, and what can be done to prevent and address it. Video considerations In creating a video, students should explore WorkSafeBC’s newbullying and harassment policies. They may want to consider the types of behaviors that constitute bullying and harassment, what to do if they or someone they know is being bullied or harassed, the duties of employers and supervisors – and what everyone can do to create a safe, healthy, and respectful workplace free from harmful and negative behaviors. Eligibility The contest is open to B.C. students in Grades 8 to 12 and, for the first time, to B.C. post-secondary students under the age of 25 (judged separately). Entry deadline is April 1, 2015. Prize In all, there’s $10,000 in prize money for students and schools. Two top high school entries will also advance to a national contest where they’ll compete for additional prizes. For more information Help inspire a future of safe and healthy young workers by sharing this information with students and fellow teachers. For details, rules, and entry forms, check out worksafebc.com. Questions? Email yworker@worksafebc.com. Funding for this contest is provided by Actsafe, London Drugs, the Ledcor Group of Companies, Peter Kiewit Infrastructure Inc., and Seaspan.

UBC Engineering Open House

Engineers Save the World – we would like to invite you and your students to come and find out how.

Did you know engineers do more than build bridges and design fast cars. Engineers help prevent disease, reduce poverty and create solutions to protect people and our planet.

We know that you play an important role and can be influential in helping students explore their interests and passions and choose the careers they will eventually pursue.  Engineering is an in-demand and rewarding option; in almost any industry you can imagine, engineers are involved. Many engineers also use their degree to become lawyers, doctors, CEOs and entrepreneurs.

Please invite your students to join our  UBC Engineering Open House so they don’t miss out on these opportunities to explore the exciting options available to them:

1.       9am to 3pm on Saturday, November 29, 2014 at the UBC’s Vancouver Campus 

RSVP/More Info: www.engineering.ubc.ca/openhouse (not mandatory but students will receive updates about labs and activities available on the day)

    Meet UBC Engineering students, esteemed faculty and knowledgeable advisors

    Explore all 12 programs available and tour our labs 

    Explore career options in our Co-Op program and with career advisors

    Ask academic advisors your admission and application questions

    See cool demonstrations and informative presentations

2.       Westcoast Women in Engineering, Science & Technology Luncheon for Grade 10-12 female science and math students – at the Open House.

This invitation to your Grade 10-12 female students is an opportunity to talk to and hear presentations by women who are currently studying engineering or young alumnae who are working in the industry. We would like to provide an open forum to enable discussions with and questions to other female students/engineers who were facing a similar decision more recently, and why they chose their path.  

Interested girls should RSVP by November 25:   www.engineering.ubc.ca/openhouse.

We look forward to seeing your students, and you, at our Engineering Open House.
