Congratulations Yoon!

St. Catharines Collegiate Staff and Students designed and crafted a bench for Harriet Tubman Elementary School for their Grand Opening.  The bench was constructed by:

Cody Read 
Jesse Emond 
Cameron Morrison
Taylor Deguire

Under the guidance of:
Mr. John Gocking
Mr. Peter Clark
Ms. Liz Lancaster



We researched Harriet Tubman’s life and tried to use some of her background symbolically on the bench.  The White oak leaves represent the official tree of Maryland where Harriet Tubman began her life and struggles.  We chose the Baltimore Oriole and Chestnut-sided Warbler as the Oriole is the state bird and the other is a bird that is common in the area.  We chose the Maple Leaf for her Canadian connection and the Blue Jay and Cardinal as they are common and readily identifiable birds from our area.   The oak leaves are on the left and the Maple leaves are on the right as we as a culture read form left to right so she begins her journey in Maryland and her connection with this area ends on the right.

St. Catharines Collegiate is excited to share this news with you!  Yoon Shin, a grade 12 student here at Collegiate, who many of you know of already after he has been featured in The Standard twice regarding the work that he has been doing to enter the CONRAD Spirit of Innovation Challenge sponsored by NASA.

Yoon has just returned from Cape Canaveral, where he and his team have won the Gold Medal for their project.  They placed first out of a field of 300 international teams in the Aerospace and Aviation category.   The design was the Project Six Sense Helmet.   They had the opportunity to meet the Director of NASA, and are working with them to develop and patent their design for commercial space travel.

Congratulations Yoon!

The SSTC Communications class visited Mayor Sendzik at City Hall last week.  They had the opportunity to learn about his position, ask questions, and even try on the Chain of Office.
