working on various art projects.

environment.
Climbing:
This club is for the experienced
or the inexperienced climber. Girls are
encouraged to come out and try the different
levels of the climbing wall in our gym.
Dance:
Members of this club enjoy the
opportunity to explore movement by
learning new dance styles, playing dance
games and building short original dances in
small groups.
Debate:
The Middle School Debate Club
is an introduction to the essential skills of
debating and public speaking. Debaters in
Grades 7 and 8 practise the skills of verbal
agility and argumentation.
Fun with Food:
Students who have a
passion for food can share their cooking
talents or improve upon them as they
prepare various fancy sandwiches, salads
and appetizers. They end the session with
a potluck, where students prepare their
favourite creations.
Knitting:
Students learn how to cast on,
knit, purl, cable and make holes in their
knitting (on purpose), as well as tink (knit
backward for the uninitiated) and fix
mistakes. End products include headbands,
small squares and the occasional cowl.
Laughter is a mainstay of the club as
everyone celebrates their mastery of yarn,
needles and stitches.
Origami:
Club members are encouraged to
explore different paper-folding designs to
create new projects. During this process,
students often find a moment of calmness
during a busy day.
Middle School students take time at lunch to learn new skills in the Knitting Club (left) and the Climbing Club (right).
