Town Centre Private Schools Visit to McMaster University: A Day of Learning and Exploration

On a bright morning, grade 9, 10, and 11 students from Town Centre Private Schools (TCPS) embarked on an educational trip to McMaster University. The day was meticulously planned to blend hands-on learning experiences with a glimpse into university life.

In the morning session, the grade 9 and 10 students participated in a STEM workshop, designing, purchasing materials, and building their creations. Meanwhile, the grade 11 students enjoyed a campus tour, exploring various facilities.

The groups then switched places, with grade 9 and 10 students touring the campus and grade 11 students engaging in their STEM workshop.

At noon, everyone gathered at the Student Centre for lunch, providing a chance to relax and reflect on the morning’s activities.

The afternoon featured diverse activities tailored to each grade level. Grade 9 students attended a planetarium show, grade 10 students participated in team-building exercises, and grade 11 students tackled the low ropes course.

The visit was a resounding success, offering TCPS students’ academic enrichment and personal growth. Student leaders tested all models created during the STEM workshops and awarded the top team. The day was captured in an album under Media, preserving the memories of this enriching experience. This trip inspired students to pursue their academic and creative passions with renewed enthusiasm.
