Ten students represented the Â鶹ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ at the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair (GVRSF), one of the largest science competitions in the country. Hosted at UBC, the event featured nearly 300 participants and over 200 projects across a range of STEM fields.
Students were selected after completing a science fair project as part of a Grade 9 course and presenting at a school-wide event. With more interest than spots available, a committee chose the final group to attend. In the months leading up to the fair, participants refined their work for a broader audience.
Mentored by teacher sponsors, the young scientists demonstrated creativity, critical thinking and innovation. Several earned awards, including recognition in chemistry, engineering and mycology. All French-language submissions at GVRSF came from Â鶹ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½.
Participation in a competition of this calibre celebrated student potential and raised the profile of our district programs.
