This October, two ambitious tenth graders started a dance club for students in St. Robert, with the goal of sharing their passion for dance (mainly hip-hop). The meteoric rise of STR Dance has been unprecedented at STR. Established just a short while ago, STR Dance Club represents a fresh wave of enthusiasm for dance. What started as an idea by two talented students has quickly blossomed into a fully-fledged club that’s captivating the school community.

A tradition at our school that is most looked forward to is Civvies Day. It is a special day at our school that usually occurs every first Thursday of the month. It is a chance for students to wear whatever they wish, as long as it conforms to the Dress Code and Student Code of Conduct. Everyone looks forward to this day as they can express themselves through their fashion and get out of the stiff uniform that they wear every day.
