Wrapping Up This Year’s Sports Event with Staff vs Student Basketball

Arnold Chan Community, Events


We ended this year’s sports event with our much-anticipated traditional Staff vs Student Basketball game. From the very start, the teachers held a strong lead and maintained it throughout the game with solid teamwork and defense.

That said, the students impressed with some fantastic three-point shots and great drives to the basket. Their energy on the court was matched by their spirit—more students participated this year than ever before, bringing incredible enthusiasm and support. While the students did not win this year, they weren’t discouraged. Instead, they’re already looking forward to challenging the teachers again in other sports next year. The sportsmanship displayed was truly remarkable, with everyone cheering each other on and playing with heart.

12 Principles of Animation

In the Communication Technology class Animation Unit, students recently undertook a project centered around the 12 Principles of Animation. The objective was to create animation that effectively showcased their understanding of these principles. The students demonstrated their creative skills and knowledge in basic 2D Animation. The project was an opportunity for students to put what they had learned into practice and explore the captivating realm of animation. All animations are then put into one collage which can be watched here in our school’s official YouTube page!

Student Vote

The two Civics classes in the Academy have joined together to work with Student Vote Canada to bring a realistic voting experience to the school.

Before the voting day, students first create informative videos about the municipal election, then create posters for candidates to investigate their stories and platforms. On the voting day, students take on different roles such as deputy returning officer, poll clerk and scrutineers to help guide other students through the voting process.
It has been an authentic and engaging learning experience for all of us!

Mini Movie Trailer

At the beginning of this course, Communications Technology(TGJ4O), the class had an option of making a sequel to the previous class’s mini movie. First they decided which roles would be necessary, such as director, script writer, cinematographer, actors. Then they started brainstorming the movie’s name, “Invasion of the W.a.f.f.l.e Clones: Let there be Brunch!”, making a rough storyline, script, and characters. Once the script writer finished the script, the class created the props with 3D printers, and planned out the locations for filming.

When the class started filming, they ran into problems like re-doing and re-scheduling scenes when necessary. During the editing stage, they edited all the scenes together, with music and sound effects. They also marketed the film by designing both physical and digital posters. The premiere for the film is scheduled for June 27th, 2022 at the YMCA graduation ceremony for this school year.
