What are you doing this Friday? Going on that Netflix binge again? Did your friend cancel on you last minute? Have no fear, my fellow student, Science and Innovation Club is here! If I told you that you could build a catapult, instead of watching re-runs of PLL and GG, would you? To further convince you of the excitement brewing in this club, take Kevin W. (11), better known as “Chairman Wang”’s, word for it: “The goal of the club is to conduct practical physical experiments to demonstrate laws in science that were not demonstrated in school. It’s going to be pretty fun.” They’ve already done a few experiments, and the purpose of the club is to “empower students and give them the desire to innovate using basic household materials”, says Jenning C. (11). The club has already conducted the “Cloud in a Bottle” experiment and the string telephone experiment. They’re hoping to make a Stirling engine… somewhere in the future.

Together As One
November 12th and 13th saw not only the uniting of a Catholic school community, but the nations of the world. This year, CSUNA (Catholic Schools United Nations Assembly) took place at Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts. Students from across the YCDSB joined together to model a typical United Nations meeting. This consisted of five different committees: General Assembly (GA), World Health Organization (WHO), Human Rights (HR), Economic and Social (ECOSOC) and Security Council (SC). Each country, depending on its size, is assigned between 1 and 5 committees.
Headstrong
On Wednesday, October 15th, the St. Robert Varsity Boys Soccer team hosted Our Lady Of the Lake. Through powerful kicks, strong communication, and quite a bit of head-butting, the boys came out with an impressive 10-0 win against the Bulldogs.
