Inside King's-Edgehill School
The success of our Junior School Science Fair continued at the regional level as 11 of our students shared their scientific passion and research at the virtual Annapolis Valley Regional Centre for Education (AVRCE) Science Fair. In preparation for this competition, our students created and submitted videos explaining the inspiration behind their projects, reflections on possible improvements to their work, and the learning highlights of the scientific process. Judging took place virtually between April 11 and 19 and the awards were announced on April 22. Our results were impressive. Congratulations are extended to all students who made it to this level of competition and our regional winners at the Virtual AVRCE Science Fair:

Our regional representatives should be very proud of their achievements. They have pursued their scientific curiosity, created projects of interest, and furthered their analytical and problem-solving skills. Their ability to analyze and problem solve will serve them well throughout their lifetime. Special thanks are extended to Mrs. Michelle Belliveau and Mr. Eric Kershaw for their ongoing support and motivation.
