What an amazing opportunity for our Grade 9 Geography students! 🗺️
We were thrilled to host Adam Shoalts, professional explorer, geographer, historian, and national bestselling author. 🧭Shoalts shared unbelievable stories about:
- Solo expeditions in the most remote wilderness areas.

Marshmallow Mayhem in Physics! 🚀 Mr. DeBlaere's Gr. 11 Physics students put their knowledge of forces and mechanics to the ultimate test: building catapults!
The competition was fierce, with the winning team launching their projectile 15 meters to take the championship! (Though we hear their practice launch went a whopping 24m! 🤯)
Great work, future engineers! 🏆

Our Tartan Terry Fox Cake Walk was a huge success! We committed to finishing what Terry Fox started 45 years ago by engaging in a school-wide cake walk. Not only did we reach our goal of raising $2000.10 dollars to support cancer research; we did it with commitment, collaboration, and pride. Thank you to all those involved for making this day one to remember.
