Fundy Middle and High School has opened their new Learning Commons!  The learning commons re-imagines the library space to create flexible, and innovating teaching and learning areas to encourage and inspire student learning. Our learning commons allows students to step outside the traditional classroom and into a comfortable, creative and technology rich environment. From white board brainstorming tables, to iPad and laptops, to comfortable seating, to teaming tables with monitors, the FMHS learning commons represents one of the most, if not the most, unique 21 century learning environment in a provincial high school. We are proud to officially open this amazing new space in our building and we are thankful for the district and the leadership of our Home and School Committee in helping make this dream a reality.​
