; Lorem Ipsum Dolor Spring 2016 2 Life Skills and Orientation and Mobility Instruction built into all aspects of the students' day, as well as weekly individualized instruction. The key goal for all students at WRMS is independence in living, academics and in thinking. WRMS offers a complete range of supports in the continuum of service, with our Resource Services teaching staff visiting students with visual impairments across Ontario. Our Short Term Programs offer weekend and summer programming designed to meet specific Expanded Core Curriculum needs in addition to offering the chance to meet and form friendships with their peers. WRMS also houses AERO (Alternative Education Resources Ontario) which houses all print alternatives for public education in Ontario, from Kindergarten to Post-Doctoral. Who are our Students? Our students come from all areas of Ontario, with some families choosing to relocate to Ontario from across Canada. It is a multi-faith and multi-cultural school, with students from places as diverse as Toronto, small prairie towns and remote First Nations Communities. Here our students find a deeper sense of social inclusion and begin to engage with their peers as they may not have before. 14
