Parkland Outdoor Ed class had another amazing Nitinat/WCT trip.  While at the famous L-Shaped log Parkland met up with Stelly's where the students and leaders help each other over the log.  Great team work.

All IB Science students were placed in a group and given 24 hours to research a topic and present to their classmates. Presentations covered topics such as Cryogenic sleep, Proxima Centauri, Space travel, and what makes a planet habitable.

Congratulations to our Parkland sailing team who competed this past Saturday at the Championship regatta held at Royal Victoria Yacht Club. The winds were great which made for some close races. It was a great spring season of sailing! Way to go team--Ethan, Connor, Kate, Martin, Jack, Tristan, Sophia, Patrick, Jannis, Julian, Carla, Klara, Dylan, Lena and Michael. Also part of the Sailing Academy were students from Bayside, Stelly's and North Saanich Middle School. Great district effort!

IB students and their parents/guardians (current and next year's cohort) are invited to a year end potluck BBQ and meeting. The BBQ will take place on Monday June 3rd at 6pm in the courtyard at Parkland and will be followed by a meeting at 7pm. This is an opportunity to celebrate the completion of our first year of IB and also an opportunity for us to share information and respond to questions. Please email cgribling@saanichschools.ca to confirm your attendance (veggie and meat burgers provided).

Today, Mr Mickelson's Law 12 class visited the Victoria Provincial Court House to learn all about the Justice system in BC. They were able to respectfully observe many court cases in Provincial, Supreme and Integrated Court rooms. After lunch the students were able to participate in a "Mock Trial" where they put Luke Skywalker on trail for destroying the Death Star. Luke was found guilty by the Jury!

Parkland students care about the planet! Many Earth Week activities took place, including this clean-up of the Nymph Point migratory bird sanctuary.

The Parkland garden grows organic food for students, staff and the Sidney Lions food bank! Thanks to Foods, Geography, and Biology students and staff who are growing this space together.
