Science

During the twentieth century, science played an increasingly important role in the lives of all Canadians. It underpins much of what we now take for granted, from life-saving pharmaceuticals to clean water, the places we live and work in, computers and other information technologies, and how we communicate with others. The impact of science on our lives will continue to grow as the twenty-first century unfolds. Consequently, scientific literacy for all has become a goal of science education throughout the world and has been given expression in Canada.

Our students access strong facilities for both hands-on and theoretical work as part of experiential learning. Their literacy skills, numeracy awareness, and level of technacy increases with a variety of extensions to the regular classroom including many clubs, teams, and community events. We participate in TDSB system-wide events and programs and compete internationally. Our students benefit from a variety of field trips and guest speakers in their subject areas. Each semester, teachers may update this area for specific course information, adding course links and materials relevant for student study.appreciate being referred for special field trip and guest speaker opportunities that would benefit our students. Our students usually have to fundraise for travel costs to regional and international events so corporate donations that can be re-purposed in contests or fundraisers are especially useful.
