SDS (Self Directed Studies)
• choose and present your own topic
• work independently and/or in groups
• each year do a major paper and an oral
SDS helps students become more independent and able to set their own goals. Orals also help students develop excellent communication skills.
These projects are real accomplishments and good preparation for grades 11/12, university and beyond in the real working world.

Drama
Every year Incentive puts on a major dramatic production. Past performances have included Shakespeare's Mid Summer Night Dream, Romeo and Juliette; an Incentive student written production entitled The Dramatic Life of Willard Marley; a comedy The Green Knight and the musical, West Side Story. Drama at Incentive is offered in our curriculum during elective time.
At Incentive we have the philosophy that rather than audition for a limited number of roles, every student who wishes to be in our production is guaranteed a part. Sometimes we rewrite the play especially to accommodate extra roles and we usually have multiple casts and several performances to give everyone an opportunity!
Drama encourages the development of confidence and communication skills.
We also have student led fine arts which happen twice a year and involve the grade 10's in a leadership role as they prepare and lead the activities (such as candle making, t-shirt dyeing and others).
New since 2009, we are also very active in video production.
