Last week the Mini school embarked on their annual winter retreat to Manning Park Ski Resort. As always, the trip proved to be a success!
Students participated in lessons for downhill skiing and snowboarding, and grades 8 - 10 also participated in one day of cross-country skiing. Whether picking up skiing or snowboarding for the first time or returning to the sport for another year, everyone improved their skills and had a great time!
Many thanks to the Mini teachers for organizing such a great trip every year.
The grade eight mini students displayed their science projects on Thursday. The science fair was held in the mini, starting at 7:00. The students worked in pairs, or by themselves and they did some brilliant work.
Students this year were very creative. Projects varied from testing the viscosity of certain liquids, to finding a natural mold-killer.
Thank you to all the judges who helped to mark these science fair projects, and good job to all the students who participated!
