Bamfield: Grade 10 Science Trip to Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre on the west coast of Vancouver Island. CAUSE Club: The CAUSE group developed three unique teams: The Community Volunteers Team, The Wentworth Team and the STEAM Team at the Collett School.

The Wentworth Team volunteered hours at Wentworth with seniors and the Collett STEAM Team helped our youngest students with coding, robotics, gardening, dance, photography, crazy chemistry and wonders of design.

Robotics: For the first year ever, Rundle was able to give academic credits to our robotics participants. Students earned CTS credits in three modules. The team competed at the FIRST regional competition in Victoria. Spring Drama Production: This year’s production was cut short by the pandemic, but we are excited to show you the work we did on Clue next year! We continued to rehearse online together.
