Grades 6-9
FLL – FIRST LEGO LEAGUE (Robotics competition 2023-2024)
Participating in the 2023-2024 season of the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) robotics competition, themed "MASTERPIECE," proved to be an electrifying adventure. Delving into the theme sparked a profound sense of wonder and ingenuity among the students, propelling them to craft their own robotic marvels.
Throughout the competition, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. Immersed in the realm of robotics, students absorbed knowledge about coding, engineering, and problem-solving with eager enthusiasm. Working collaboratively as a team, each member contributed unique skills, fostering a dynamic environment where learning was as exhilarating as it was fulfilling.
Since September 2023, students preparing for the FLL Robotics competition have dedicated their lunch breaks and after-school hours to work tirelessly with their robots. They have immersed themselves into programming, honed their skills in robot design, and embarked on innovative projects. We extend our best wishes to them as they gear up for the competition on Saturday, February 3rd, 2024.
“Ultimately, the FLL "MASTERPIECE" competition transcended its status as a mere robotics challenge; it served as a catalyst for both personal and collective development. It ignited our passion for STEM fields and equipped us with essential 21st-century proficiencies, leaving us with cherished memories of a voyage brimming with excitement, learning, and the sheer delight of robotics exploration.” - FLL Students Team.

We are thrilled to share with you the exciting and mouth-watering journey our students have embarked upon in the realm of Food Design. Over the past month, our aspiring culinary artists have passionately worked on innovating a new food product, demonstrating their flair for creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
Diverse in their culinary interests, our students have curated an impressive array of recipes spanning the gastronomic spectrum. From delectable savory dishes to tantalizingly sweet and sour creations, they have left no flavor untouched. Main courses, salads, and desserts have all received the thoughtful attention of these budding chefs.
What sets this showcase apart is the meticulous attention to detail exhibited by our students throughout the entire process. From conceptualization to execution, they have honed their skills in crafting not only delicious but visually stunning dishes. The commitment to plating their final products has been a focal point of every session, showcasing a keen eye for aesthetics.
As part of this project, our students have not only delved into the artistry of culinary creation but have also put on their entrepreneurial hats. Each student has meticulously crafted a business plan, outlining strategies to launch their innovative food product within our school community.
Congratulations to our top chefs who have truly shone with their outstanding performance and exceptional creations.
