The coaches are very proud of the boys effort this season. Shoutout to all players on the team KJ Stronks, Trey D’Hondt, Nerraud Thomas, Mike Demaiter, Jack Palermo, Nick Bint, Lynken Derkach, Lucian Porto, Francois Faucher and Abraham Maritim.
Hello Titans! Do you love earth and environmental science? Are you in Grade 10 or 11? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then listen up! This summer the Faculty of Science at the University of Waterloo is hosting GeoX, a one-week camp for high school students to learn more about the field of earth and environmental science.
Students will participate in hands-on mapping and sampling outdoors and will use the lab technology and exploration instruments our students and industry professionals use daily. You will also be taking day trips off campus to explore an active mine, examine rock outcrops for fossils, minerals, and structures, and gather and test water and soil samples at various sites. Attendees will spend time with current students and faculty throughout the week getting a feel for what it’s like to be a UW Science student. If you are interested in attending this camp- it runs from August 10-16 and the cost is $700- which includes your stay at the University of Waterloo and all food for the week plus more! Any interested students- please come and see Mrs. Bouw in room 246.
