Grade 11 and 12 STEM Workshop with MacMaster University With the start of the 2023-2024 school year, the TCPS High School embarked on an exciting new educational partnership with McMaster University and their MacEng Outreach program. This program for TCPS high school students provides additional STEM opportunities focusing on skill-building as well as general university guidance. Using the transcending technology of tomorrow, TCPS High School students will further develop digital literacy skills while learning the fundamentals of STEM, students will make connections to various STEM fields and have the opportunity to explore various disciplines. This will assist in preparing students for their future academic and professional journeys. On Thursday, February 29, our grade 11 and 12 Biology and Chemistry students participated in an in-person interactive STEM lab (at TCPS), hosted by members of the MacEng group, from McMaster University. Students performed an analysis of vitamin C content present in a sample of orange juice. This will be completed through the execution of a redox titration where Fe (III) will be reduced to Fe (II) and iodine will be reduced to an iodide ion. This experiment allowed students to channel their inner chemical engineer. Participants were encouraged to learn about career paths such as food processing, chemical manufacturing, and the pharma industry as these fields all incorporate titrations heavily. Black History Month at TCPS The 2024 theme for Black History Month is: “Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build”. Students had the opportunity to focus on and celebrate the many achievements and contributions of Black individuals and Black communities across Canada. The Elementary Student Activity Council cited quotes and real-life events of African Canadians and African Americans in special announcements regarding Acts of Kindness and our school librarian explored narratives of Black History Month by reading books with our students including More than Peach by Bellen Woodard (Gr. 1-3), Counting on Katherine by Helaine Becker (Gr. 4 & 5), and Meet Viola Desmond by Elizabeth Macleod (Gr. 7 & 8). On Thursday, February 29th the grades 4-8 students had a special presentation from guest speaker, Jamaal Myers, City of Toronto Councillor and current chair of the Toronto Transit Commission. Councillor Myers spoke of his trials and tribulations and how he overcame them to eventually become a successful City Councillor. We thank Councillor Myers for taking the time from his busy schedule to give his motivational presentation to our students! Each week in our High School classes, various facts, videos, and stories were shared with our students to highlight and celebrate Black athletes, musicians, activists, and young leaders throughout history. As we celebrate and recognize the Black communities throughout our past, present and future, we continue to educate ourselves on what positive change looks like.
