From the Science Department...

  • This afternoon we had a presentation by WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) about electricity. Students had the chance to build different circuits and a simple motor! It was electrifying!

CFOO!

In Français, it's time for another CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 
This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.
This time around, students can choose any one of the presentation options that they have not already presented. They will prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page they have in their binder).
Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.


The CFOO Presentations will take place on Monday, March 12th and Tuesday, March 13th.
