THE FIVE ‘A’S
Computer Science Club Academics
New this year at Albert is the Computer Science Club, pioneered by three ambitious students – Allen N., Allen X. and Mark – who want to inspire a love of technology. With 14 members, the club learns and works together on projects such as game development. Members have also participated in competitions like the North American Computational Linguistics Open and the USA Computing Olympiad, where Allen X., a Grade 11 student, placed second. The club is not just for experienced students; it is also a safe space for beginners to develop their skills.
Mock Trial Champions Academics
Our Grade 12 law class travelled to the Belleville courthouse in May to compete in the Ontario Bar Association (OBA) and Ontario Justice Education Network (OJEN) Hastings Mock Trial championships. Thirteen Albert students won all four trials they took part in and were named the 2023 Hastings Mock Trial champions. This local tournament is a part of the OBA/OJEN competitive mock trials, which are held annually across the province.
Regional Win for Science Project Academics
A group of Grade 9 students presented their science projects at the 2023 Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair. Our winning duo, Ella and Isabella, placed first in their division for their project, Do Colours Affect People’s Immediate Reaction to Fear? The project compared reactions between older and younger students, which the judges were fascinated by. Ella and Isabella went on to compete at the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Edmonton.
