Thank you @ICTC_CTIC and T. King for leading our cyber security learning this week in PGL. Digital forensics was as exciting as our mock crime scene forensics! We look forward to learning about Quantum computing NEXT! @OttCatholicSB

We trained as forensic scientists, detectives & crime reporters, now we put those skills to the ultimate test! We’re solving a mock classroom crime by finding the culprit. Then we craft amazing news reports & create websites detailing the case. Stay tuned for breaking news!

We wrapped up our Ship-a-Chip STEAM challenge! Chips were shipped around the class, bounced downstairs, and put to the test (real world testing). Excitement was high as we opened packages to see which survived - plus more @uwaterloo contest prep! @OttCatholicSB

Did you miss the Thursday kickoff to #JumpRopeforHeart ? What an energetic display of a heart healthy activity. Don’t forget to sponsor your child for this worthwhile cause by creating their fundraising team and helping get donations. Our goal is $1500!
