Turnbull School students continue to achieve excellence. The 2022 Canada National Spelling Bee Championship on May 28th gathered 54 outstanding spellers from across Canada. Declan Cunningham in grade 8 took 3rd place and Ashley Sutherland, also in grade 8, tied for 5th. Congratulations to these students for their effort, enthusiasm and exceptional results.
Two Turnbull School grade 8 students finished in the top three at this year’s Canada Wide Science Fair. Timothy Riddolls earned a bronze medal for his project, Electromagnetic Pulse Effects on Non-Volatile Digital Memory, and Lauren Rasalingam earned a silver medal for her project, Not on My Back! (Engineering Horse Saddle Pads).Congratulations to both of these students for their hard work, effort and outstanding results!
On September 30th, we shared Turnbull School’s Land Acknowledgement during morning announcements and in both main foyers of the school. These important words will be shared at the beginning of special occasions and assemblies.
As part of Turnbull School’s recognition of Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation the school was pleased and humbled to virtually welcome an Inuk guest speaker, Genova, on September 29. Genova was born and raised in Nunavut, and she shared her knowledge and personal experiences about Inuit culture with our primary classes, life up north and how it differs from life here with our junior school, as well as key facts about Inuit history with our grade seven and eight students and teachers. We are grateful for Genova’s time with us as we continue our journey towards Truth and Reconciliation.
