Gabriel Bergeron is a Grade 12 student enrolled in the Computer Science Specialist Program at Bayridge Secondary School.  He recently received the Senior Gold Medal for the highest academic standing at BSS. He is privileged to have the resources needed to participate and contribute in a digital learning environment. Not all Kingston students are so fortunate. By grade 10, he began to notice that some students were falling behind in school and developed SLAP! to address this inequity.

Environmental Sustainability in Costa Rica

*WR - Wine Raffle

Fabian van der Merwe travelled to Costa Rica to work on a co-op project dealing with environmental sustainability.
 

Fabian is studying at the University of Toronto, majoring in International Development Studies - understanding the needs of the third world (now known as the Global South) without imposing what the first world (now known as the Global North) thinks the Global South needs.

Earlier this year, an article on this topic appeared in Rotary magazine so it’s a growing topic for Rotary too.
