As the Fall Semester comes to a close, we want to take a moment to celebrate all the students who actively participated in various club activities. Through your enthusiasm and dedication, you’ve not only honed new skills but also built meaningful connections, explored your passions, and expanded your potential for the future.
Your efforts have also contributed to a vibrant campus community, inspiring those around you and setting a great example for others.
Business Club
CIC Business Club had some unforgettable moments this semester! The students attended TechTO’s Annual City Hall Networking Event, Canada’s premier gathering for tech and business professionals.
They connected with industry leaders and visionary entrepreneurs and earned from inspiring speakers, including Mayor Olivia Chow and top minds in tech. The out-of-class experience provided them with invaluable lessons on entrepreneurship and what it takes to succeed in today’s dynamic world.
Robotics Club
On Oct 26, CIC Robotics Club (Team 9062) demonstrated outstanding innovation and teamwork at the FIRST Robotics Canada Tournament in Windsor, Ontario. Competing with Baguette, the widest FRC-legal robot ever built, our students pushed the boundaries of creativity and sharpened their computer-aided design skills in the process.
Team 9062 entered three robots into the tournament. Our primary robot, Conductor, placed 2nd in the elimination bracket and earned a finalist trophy which can be found in our trophy case out front. Our widest robot, Baguette, ended its run in third place as a defense robot. Our turreting swerve robot, Capacitor, was 6th place at the tournament.
With all three robots advancing to the elimination rounds, this was our most successful tournament yet! We can’t wait to tackle more exciting challenges in 2025.
Music Club
This semester, our Band and Choir, and Music Club members have shown incredible dedication, improving their skills and spreading joy through the power of music.
From harmonious melodies to energetic performances, their hard work has truly touched the hearts of everyone around them.
A shout-out to Music Teacher Mr. Daniel Yustres for inspiring our students, helping them hone their musical skills, and adding a spark of joy to school life for everyone.
