Mole Day 2024!

On October 23, the Senior School celebrated Mole Day, honouring Avogadro's Number (6.02x10^23). The day began with the Grade 10 Molympics, where students competed in chemistry-themed tasks, such as calculating the number of years it would take to draw a mole of tally marks or competing in the Avogadro fitness relay race.

 

At lunch, students from Grades 9 to 12 joined a scavenger hunt, searching for 10 hidden mole stickers around the school. Those who found all 10 and snapped selfies with each one earned donuts—23 in total, a clever nod to 10^23.
