The Sustainability and Conservation Club will co-host along with local organization Simply Living, which aims to provide community education for a more sustainable and equitable world.

| Form V students exercise art and science skills for hybrid project Form V students earlier this week shared projects they had been working on for months. They created 3D art pieces and made them come alive with programmable, robotic components such as motors, sensors, and LED lights. In January, the students began learning how to program the different parts using the programming language, SNAP! The project was an artistic endeavor as well as a scientific pursuit, and the students were tasked with designing projects that could evoke a specific emotion in their viewers. |
