Students to study at Queen's

        Two hundred and thirteen Grade 7 and 8 students from across the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board are heading off to study at Queen's University. The students are taking part in Queen's University's annual Seven - Eight Enrichment Day Studies (S.E.E.D.S.) from Tuesday, November 27 to Thursday, November 29.
        S.E.E.D.S. is a special three day program for highly motivated students hosted by Queen's University. It challenges students to a higher level of learning where they can explore new subject areas, experiment with new ideas and broaden their horizons while experiencing a university setting. Students attend workshops in various tracks of study - including mathematics, the arts, science & technology, health and physical education, language arts, sociology, geography, and history.
        "Students will get an idea about university life, they will participate in fun social activities, they will make new friends and they will be stimulated to pursue new learning opportunities," says Deirdre Gordon, Gifted and Enrichment Resource Teacher for the Board.
