Fascinated by the human brain?
Are you interested in:
  • how our mind interprets our surroundings and makes decisions,
  • how our brain controls our muscles so we can move, and
  • how chemical imbalances in the brain may cause a range of different neurological diseases?
If yes, then consider joining the Bennies Brain Bee Club and participate in the University of Waterloo’s Annual Brain Bee Competition! The club will meet regularly to learn about the brain and prepare for the UW Brain Bee. The Brain Bee is an exciting opportunity for students to learn about the brain and the importance of brain research. The University of Waterloo’s Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences annual Region of Waterloo Brain Bee is tentatively scheduled to take place in-person on Saturday, March 2nd, 2024. The event will feature some live demonstrations of neuroscience lab activities happening on campus, a multiple-choice quiz, draws for additional prizes, and cash prizes for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners! The winner of the Waterloo Brain Bee will have the opportunity to visit campus and learn additional neuroanatomy using real human brain specimens. They will also advance to compete in the National Brain Bee competition.

When we meet

There will be an information meeting on Thursday, October 17th, right after school in A2 – the Annex. See Mrs. Taylor in A2 for more details.

DOCTOR WHO CLUB: Coming Jan. 16th

To close off semester 1, we continue our re-visit to the Doctor’s previous encounters with Home Aqua.  Long ago, the 3rd Doctor and Jo Grant paid a visit to his arch-enemy, the Master — now the only prisoner on a secure island.  Unfortunately, he has already subverted the prison, and plans to unleash the denizens of Homo Aqua onto an unsuspecting world.  Join us as we watch a special movie length version of the 1972 classic THE SEA DEVILS — their very first appearance!  Plan extra time for a movie-length special edition, plus a bonus raffle to say goodbye to the first semester.  The adventure begins this Friday January 16th after school in room 226.
