With so many amazing enrichment opportunities out there, it’s often hard to chose which ones to attend.  If you are interested in psychology, health sciences, or just interested in learning about how the brain functions, this day of fun and competition is for you.

One of our own students placed 2nd overall in this event at McMaster University last year!  I’m hoping this year brings more representation from OT.  

Who:   Any student from grade 9 - 12

What:   A day of competition against other local high school students, to see who has learned the most about the brain. All questions will be taken from ‘Neuroscience:  Science of the Brain

Where:  McMaster University

When:  Friday April 7th, 2017

For more information visit their website or see Mrs. Tummon in room 184.  Please let me know if you would like to attend.  If we have enough interest I will look into ordering a bus to get everyone there and back.
