Our older Brookes Westshore students had the chance to recharge before the busy end of year exams with a trip to the picturesque Ocean Village Resort in Tofino. Surfing in the Pacific Ocean, cozy campfires, and marshmallows under the stars made it a memorable highlight. Balancing the demands of the IB program with meaningful connections with each other and their environment is crucial for our students.

A group of Brookes Westshore Grade 11 IB Diploma students had the opportunity to visit Royal Roads University (Canada) Department of Sustainability to tour their facilities and hear learn from professors and graduate students about the laboratory and field work that is ongoing there.

The focus was on careers in sustainability, and how issues of sustainability will be integrated into a wide diversity of fields as we move forward in society. It was a great opportunity for Brookes students to see what university science facilities are like, meet experts, consider careers, and build relationships for potential volunteer and service opportunities.

Step into "Canada's classroom" at Brookes Westshore(Canada), where learning extends beyond the walls! Grade 5 students recently explored Muir Creek Beach in Sooke, connecting their studies with the 25-million-year-old fossils and geological wonders of the area. They saw how the ocean's gradual erosion unveils ancient life forms, previously hidden within the cliffs and rocks. We love to see students connecting what they are learning in the classroom with real-world examples.
