In today’s highly competitive academic environment, students feel immense pressure to achieve top grades in order to secure a place in their dream schools and programs. Unfortunately, this environment has given rise to institutions known as credit mills. These organizations offer quick and easy courses that promise higher grades in exchange for a fee. Although these credit mills might seem tempting, they undermine the education system and are incredibly unfair to all students.

It was one of those days. By “those days,” I meant the days when the prince would come gallivanting down the streets, with a whole parade of horses and men behind him. The soldiers were waving banners of the country’s flag on them, while the prince was throwing coins into the crowd. Much to my annoyance, people pushed and shoved to get them. There was nothing better than free money, but maybe if the crown took better care of its citizens, then maybe everyone wouldn’t be so desperate for some coins.

The COP, Conference Of the Parties, more commonly referred to as the COP of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is a global conference that generally aims to discuss climate change and promote scientific developments. Last year’s COP marked the 29th summit, hence the name COP29, and exhibited several improvements in comparison to COP28, yet also left several delegates unsatisfied with the results of the conference.

Some might say the Axiom is more of an unusual club, different from the rest. While most clubs dabble in their specialties and mind their own business, we stick our heads in all the events at school. Another aspect specializing us is our club’s public service, while other groups may host school events from time to time, our system is based on dishing out content for readers.
In preparation for the holidays, St. Robert students hosted a series of festive events throughout the month of December. Here’s a quick rundown of a few of them!
