Our Complementary Course Showcase next Thursday, June 5 (4:30-5:30) is a platform to highlight creativity, skills, and hard work. This is an opportunity for parents and younger students to see the types of courses offered at Elboya and for students to showcase their work. Career and Technology Foundations (CTF) allows students to explore their interests and passions as they learn about various career possibilities and occupational areas. Come see projects (i.e. Robotics, Construction, Art, Fashion, Tourism, etc.) and performances in Band & Drama. A schedule is forthcoming.
Jr. Science Day
On Friday, Grade 8 students all enjoyed a fun-filled day out at Calaway Park for Junior Science Day. Students examined the rides to understand how several simple machines, such as levers, gears, inclined and pulleys, combine to make more complex systems. They saw examples of potential energy and kinetic energy in the rollercoaster and how pneumatic and hydraulic systems provided power, control, and safety features for many of the rides. Made for a great day of learning.
GAUSS Math Competition
A big congratulations to the 44 Grade 8 students who elected to write the University of Waterloo GAUSS math competition last week. The Gauss Mathematics Contest is an annual event organized by the University of Waterloo and the Canadian Mathematics and Computer Education Center (CEMC). It's a multiple-choice math competition designed to challenge students with problems that go beyond their typical school curriculum. The contest aims to encourage mathematical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Congratulations to Elboya’s Maxine A, Eamon M, Marion B and Aleks W. for top scores. Way to go Elboya!
