The Bluff
Welcome to the Bluff. A podcast where we interview members of our school community—past and present—to keep alumni, staff, students and parents connected to the life and story of our high school-by-the-Bluff. Maybe you once attended or taught at Newman for a time. Maybe you are a current student or staff member, or you are thinking of sending your child to our school and want to know a little more about it beyond what you read in our pamphlet, look no further than The Bluff.

I am delighted to welcome former student and current TCDSB teacher at St. Joan of Arc Academy, Nick McCowan to The Bluff. He was the 2019 winner of computer manufacturer Lenovo’s Visionary teacher award and is co-owner of Teachmetoolbox. We are excited to talk VR and other tech, how it can be used effectively in the classroom, high school days and the future of the human race. Are we destined to live in a dystopian world as slaves to our robot overlords, or will humanity create a technological utopia? Nick and I discuss these topics and more. (Music: Anfernee Hardaway)
