This morning four students and four teachers embarked upon quite an adventure. They will be travelling to Iceland for 10 days to work with 6 rural Alberta and Icelandic schools to explore the question “What makes a great school for all?” #rvsed #bpCONNEX #ata

Another spectacular Fine Arts Day! So amazing what the committee, volunteers and artists come up with! The kids were inspired to create many things reflecting our Earth theme 🌍

[Sarah MacFarquhar @MacFarquharS]

‘Twas the night before Fine Arts Day and all through the Peak, people were busy getting ready for the best day this week! #Paintbrushes, #glueguns, #artsupplies galore were excitedly waiting behind each classroom door! Merry Fine Arts Day Eve!

We were doing a #scienceexperiment - we needed a cup of water, a straw and a piece of paper that said #funscience. The straw looked bent and the words looked bigger when we looked at them through the water. When light travels through water it bends - this is called #refraction!

Leaving inspired from the #innnovatorsCAN gala! Incredible projects and passionate presentations. Thank you for giving our @bandedpeakrvs Ss a broader audience to share their hard work with. #rvsed
