Thank you, Leader24

Computer Design students in Archbishop O'Leary High School apply their knowledge and environmental awareness to create an energy efficient home. Their assignment is to research cutting edge home efficiency technology and to design a house that uses at least four different types of efficiencies. Their goal is to create a net zero home for our Alberta climate.

Science 20 and Biology 20 students from Archbishop O'Leary High School became real scientists for one day. They were able to test the water quality of the North Saskatchewan River by studying indicators such us turbidity, nitrogen, phosphorus, and pH. The students also learned about Edmonton's River Valley, its history, and how we can better protect it.

Social Studies students in Archbishop O'Leary High School have applied their knowledge on democracy and responsible citizenship in a very special way. Mrs. D'Andrea organised a cleanup team for the community area to teach her students in a hands-on way that being a citizen also means keeping our neighbourhoods clean, therefore, taking responsibility of our own waste.

Dorothy Diana has shown her classmates how to be creative and practical at the same time. Using a water gallon and broken spoons, this student from Archbishop O’Leary High School has designed and built this beautiful lamp that can be hang or used as a table lamp. Congratulations to Dorothy and her teacher Mrs. Kutcher, for encouraging her students to reuse and to reduce our waste!

Christine, Louise and Sandy, from Archbishop O’Leary High School have decided to give a second use to an old car tire and some colorful fabric that was going to be thrown away. Using their knowledge and imagination, and with the help of Mrs. Kutcher, these students have created this comfortable Tire Chair, ready to use in class or at home.

Dorothy Diana, from Archbishop O'Leary High School, has created this fantastic Spoon Lamp with reused plastic spoons and a plastic container. This Spoon Lamp is ready to be used at home or at school and can be hang or sit on a table. Once again, the help and encouragement of Mrs Kutcher as being essential to carry our this project. Great job!
