In addition to the daily academic programme, all students must participate in Middle School's athletic programme. A student chooses one sport for each of the three terms. A number of teams are co-ed, such as swimming, squash, tennis and league activities. A wide range of activities is offered outside of the athletic and academic programmes. All students are expected to participate in the Activities Programme by selecting at least one activity per term.
Comets are like cats.
They have tails, and they do precisely what they want. So wrote Lara Jennings in the text accompanying her Hale-Bopp project. Lara was naturally interested in one the most publicized comets of this century. Students like Lara choose an area of interest and design their own research opportunity. They create a personal timetable and seek out whatever resources they need to complete their projects.
