On January 9, 2007, in a highly anticipated speech at MacWorld, Steve Jobs unveiled his newest product: “iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone,” said Jobs. Apple under Steve Jobs changed the world, first during the personal computer revolution and again with the iPhone.

Work, work, and art! In spite of the academic prowess our community demands of every individual, our school also harbours extraordinary artistry; we have many skilled musicians, actors, and visual artists sharing their skills through music ensembles, plays, and murals here at St. Robert.
