GRADE SEVEN D E B AT I N G F O R G O L D Students on RHA's Debate Team learn the art and science of advocacy and rebuttal, and hone their presentation skills to compete in an annual tournament. RHA has a proud debating legacy: our students take home gold year after year. W O R L D M AT H The International Caribou Mathematics Competition is held six times throughout the school year and culminates in the Caribou Cup. Open to grades 3 through 8, RHA kids have rocked Caribou, placing among the world's top 2 per cent in their grade categories. N AT I O N A L B I B L E C O N T E S T In grades 6-8, students are able to participate in Canada's Bible Contest, a competition that invites students to immerse themselves in the Tanakh. Each year, RHA sends about 15 eager students to Regionals. Our track record is pristine: 100% of our students consistently advance to Nationals, where they are always among the top finishers. RHA grad Zoe Zusman took first place in her time at RHA. S C U L P T U R E S I N M O T I O N Students are challenged to capture movement in sculpture. First they study examples of sculpture – from classical Greek to abstract to surreal. Then they create a wire figure based on proportions of the human body to test the movements they want to reproduce. And finally, they create three-dimensional figures. Movement sculpturing builds not just aesthetic ability; students also apply physics, design thinking, problem solving and innovation. O N T O T H E F I N I S H L I N E !
