At Charles Hays Secondary School, geography 12 and specialized sciences 12 (fisheries) teachers are working closely together to get students out on the land and in the water as much as possible. Students learn about the territory and their local environment from an array of regional experts and professionals (e.g. Gitxaala Territorial Management Agency). One field trip to the hooligan run helped students learn about the region's natural food resources. The courses have also aimed to tie in Tsimshian language, such as when identifying and labelling endemic flora and fauna.
