HAVERGAL COLLEGE
Mindbenders (9 to 12):
This is a club for
those with open minds, whether they are a
budding physics geek or just curious about
the universe. Every month, they explore the
mysteries of the cosmos through activities,
exciting videos, stimulating discussions and
more.
Model UN (9 to 12):
This club is an
experiential learning opportunity whereby
student delegates represent countries
around the world and meet with the goal
of addressing real-world issues like human
trafficking, global trade, cyber governance
and climate change. The delegates represent
the interests of their country and are tasked
with advocating their position on different
topics, as well as offering possible solutions.
They experience how the United Nations
functions as an organized system and learn
about diplomacy, international relations
and the importance of research and data on
delivering a convincing argument, as well
as gaining public speaking, debating and
writing skills.
Photography (9 to 12):
Club members
explore many aspects of photography
such as shooting in both digital and film,
using Photoshop, developing photos and
organizing photoshoots. This club offers
an opportunity for particpants to get
comfortable with their cameras and have
fun with photography!
Ping Pong (7 to 12):
The club is open to
anyone interested in dropping by and is a
great place to relax, make new friends and
break a sweat. The Ping Pong Club motto is
“Bring your paddles and come by!”
Robotics (8 to 12):
Club members are split
up into teams and each team builds their
own robots from scratch using VEX kits
and instructions. After building, they are
on their own, making various computer
programs (for example, programming the
robot to run a maze without the help from
a human driver). In robotics, the girls learn
the fundamental skill of building robots and
how to maximize efficiency when doing so.
Spanish (9 to 12):
Participants learn about
the unique Spanish culture and vocabulary
through fun activities such as playing
Twister, watching telenovelas and
competiting at fun games. They also learn
facts about Spanish culture (traditions,
celebrations, food and history). Everyone
loves the guacamole-making session and
the end-of-the-year fiesta!
Senior School students explore the fields of engineering, physics and politics through clubs such as the Robotics Club (top left), the
Mindbenders Club (bottom left) and the Model United Nations Club (right).
