Four Grade 7S students organized a Model United Na

Four Grade 7S students organized a Model United Nations conference for their class this past Monday. The conference focused on the current conflict occurring in Sudan.

The discussions resulted in delegates working collaboratively to create two fantastic resolution papers filled with solutions to resolve the conflict. Throughout the debate, all delegates displayed exceptional skills in diplomacy, public speaking, and teamwork. The delegates learned to write position and resolution papers and further developed their public speaking skills.

Overall, the conference was a major success, and all participants, whether on the dais or representing a country, were amazing.

During Outdoor Ed Week, our second group of Grade 12 students explored the serene waterways of Salt Spring and the Gulf Islands by kayak.

After paddling during the day, they camped with ocean views each night, walked the sandy shores of small coastal islands examining wildlife and soaked in the scenery.
