I've taken a more artistic approach for the school portrait of DSSS after all, it is a portrait. If I were to summarize what I included in the portrait here, the big blue hover ship roughly spanning C5, 6, and D5, and D6 is DSSS and the boxes drawn around the hover ship (C3-4, B3-7, A7, D3, E3-4) depict specific features of DSSS that I thought really represented the school well. These include the SHSM sports curriculum, contact room for student support, all the clubs, ELLs, Anti-Idling campaign, with the cars, Indigenous and South Asian appreciation, along with Beth Lisser's amazing work just to name a few. I've depicted DSSS and its feeder schools as hover ships complete with a robot greeter (D5), escalator up (D5, E5), solar panels (C5-6), and Astroturf field (C6) to represent its emphasis on technological education and innovation. I've also included various natural elements surrounding DSSS including Terra Cotta, Silver Creek Conservation, Heart Lake, and Fletcher's creek to symbolize DSSS's unique geographical location and proximity to nature. Furthermore, I've included shopping areas (Shopper's World), common retail stores (Costco, No Frills etc.), along with food places (Freshii, Harveys, Guru Sweets, J Red and Co's Food and Drink etc.), parking lots with lots of accessible parking spots, and parks/sports complexes because DSSS is a very athletic school. The community is enclosed by the 2 major highways (407 and 410) to symbol the segregation of the community (in my opinion) from the rest of the GTA. This is the geographic location of that DSSS has marked in its school zone. Lastly, I've included DSSS students and some activities that I might see the students participating in if I were to travel to DSSS. These include anti-bullying demonstrations (F5-6, G6), planting trees (B1-2), giving out brochures that tell consumers to stop using disposable take-out containers (E2, F1-2), taking out the trash (E3, F3), thanking a custodian (C6), using solar panels in their individual homes (A3-5), a student sampling water from McGregor Spring pond (A1), and students being active - having a soccer game (E6-7), doing yoga (B6), working out, swimming, and playing hockey at the South Fletcher's Sportsplex (G6-7, H6-7).
