On October 21-23, a group of Secondary 3 IB students spent three busy days visiting the world-renowned Stratford Theatre Festival where they had the opportunity to watch Edmond Rostand’s famous play about unrequited love, Cyrano de Bergerac, Oscar Wilde’s comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest, and their favorite, the musical production, West Side Story. They also went on a tour of the costume and props warehouse where they had fun trying on costumes from some of Stratford Theatre’s many productions. On the way home, they had a chance to pay a quick visit to the well-known Mennonite village, St. Jacobs where they sampled tasty treats, and dropped in on the many artisan stores and exhibits.

Grade 10 IB Field Trip
On October 1st, the secondary 4 IB students got an opportunity to go to Mont-St-Gregoire to take part in 2 very different activities. The first was a GPS rally where groups of students made use of a GPS to find hidden enigmas which they went on to solve. The second was a zip-lining experience which many will never forget. For some the experience was a thrill and for others, completing a segment was a challenge that they could feel proud about themselves for accomplishing. Throughout this adventure, students were developing many of the IB Learner Profile traits such as that of being a risk-taker, a communicator and a caring individual.
