  Grade 6 Brock University

  Grade 6 students recently had an unforgettable end-of-year trip to Brock University!

   

  The students got to experience real university life! From lecture halls and labs to staying in dorms, from the walks across the campus and eating like university students, we got a true taste of what it’s like to be a student at a big, beautiful campus. During the day, we took part in actual science classes led by university staff. My favourite moments  were dissecting the brain and owl pellets, lots of others liked the game design, suturing and chemistry classes best.
