Grade Nine Wild West Dance

On Friday September 26th our school hosted the very first dance of the year, only for ninth graders!

It was a fun and exciting night as we dressed up to the Wild West theme and hung out with our friends. After a day of meeting new people at Camp Robin Hood , the dance gave us the chance to get to know everyone a little more. What better way to have fun and improve our friendships than by having a school dance? By the end of the night, everyone headed home with big smiles on their faces knowing that they weren’t alone in this giant school community. read more

Pearson’s Not Flying High with Travellers

We’ve all had our share of problems with airports, whether it be rowdy neighbours, loud babies, air sickness, or irritable security officers. And maybe it’s just been our bad luck that we Torontonians are cursed with having to use one of the worst airports in North America – Lester B. Pearson Airport. Perhaps we can sympathize with the fact that it will undoubtedly be plagued with problems with it having the greatest level of people traffic in Canada; however, we travellers expect more from our city. read more

Social Justice’s Global Outreach

As part of a Catholic community, St. Robert always strives to give back to those in need and one of the many clubs that helps make this possible is Social Justice, which has been part of the school community for many years. Its goal this year is to partner with Free the Children and Me-to-We to build yet another school as part of the Adopt-A-Village program. Social Justice continues to make a great impact on the school community as it brings awareness to global issues and encourages the school staff and students to participate in fundraisers and volunteering opportunities.  For the month of October, Social Justice started a “We Scare Hunger” food drive for Halloween. It is small acts like these that go a long way to better the life of families in need. As said by Amanda F. (12), the Social justice President, read more

Have Time to Spare? Looking for a Bite? Try These Places

It’s no mystery that the school of St. Robert is located in the middle of nowhere – much akin to the Sahara Desert or the North Pole. As such, students rarely get to experience life outside of school walls during school hours, with the opportunity to eat elsewhere being few and far between. Sadly, these conditions are unlikely to be remedied in a timely fashion. However, for the students who are lucky enough to have a spare (or for those who just walk really fast), there exists a healthy number of alternatives to the cafeteria – only a twenty minute walk away. read more

The Boxtrolls: A Quirky, Amazingly Bizarre Delight

8/10

From Laika Studios (creators of films such as Coraline and ParaNorman) comes yet another dark and delightfully quirky film, The Boxtrolls. Based on Alan Snow’s book, Here Be Monsters!, this movie takes place in an old English village, where Boxtrolls are believed to be man-eating, baby-stealing menaces to society. In truth, they are kind, lovable creatures who simply wish to live in harmony with the humans. Living amongst these box-wearing creatures is a human boy by the name of Eggs (Isaac Hempstead  Wright) who was saved as a baby by a Boxtroll and raised to believe that he is one of them. Regardless of their peaceful nature, however, the humans want the Boxtrolls gone, and leading the extermination of their kind is the wicked Archibald Snatcher (Ben Kingsley), a disgusting, if rather humourous, man who has an agenda of his own. It’s up to Eggs, his family of Boxtrolls, and his new-found, fiery spitfire of a friend, Winnie (Elle Fanning) to put a stop to Snatcher’s nefarious plans and to prove wrong the humans’ assumptions of Boxtrolls once and for all. read more
