Our Grade 7 students worked with Dr. Hopi Martin, an Indigenous educator and consultant, to create a Medicine Garden at Blue & Silver Farm. This meaningful project is part of our commitment to experiential learning, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous knowledge sharing.

Our FIRST Robotics team, Newbotics, competed at the Ontario District Newmarket event this weekend. It was a great competition for the team and they finished in the top 10 and are now 17th in the province, out of more than 100 teams. #PickeringCollege #Newbotics

Our FIRST Robotics team, Newbotics, had an exciting breakthrough this week. They have been building and coding the swerve drive, a drivetrain that lets each wheel turn and move independently. This week they got to see their success in action. #PickeringCollege #FirstRobotics

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Students shared what they are doing in their classes to mark this day, from learning about Indigenous artists and the Seven Sacred Teachings to land-based learning at the Blue & Silver Farm or PC's own raspberry garden.

The moment the 300-year-old clock in Dr. Lock's office chimed for the first time since 1971. Thanks to our Grade 4 students, who participated in the revitalization in the spring during their inquiry on gears and the inner workings of clocks. #PickeringCollege #ThrowbackThursday

A group of eight Senior School students took part in a competitive mock trial on May 7, from the Crown and Defense’s perspective in front of real judges. Our students represented themselves with strong arguments and thoughtful statements by the witnesses. #PickeringCollege

This is an interesting study. The discussion about maintaining balance in life resonates with my idea of thriving. I would find it difficult to feel like I am thriving if I couldn't balance family and work. Here's to need to stay organized!
What does graduate student thriving look like? Check our latest article about the academic and non-academic components of #GraduateStudent #thriving: achieving, engaging, connecting, balancing, enjoying, and being. @QueensEduc frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
Interesting story about Canada’s contribution to the war effort. It seems we guarded an an enormous pile of cash to keep it away from the Nazis. I’ve never read this story. War buffs will find it a good read. cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/op…

The act of terrorism in London, Ont. is disgusting. We must speak against hatred wherever it rears it’s ugly head. No Canadian should feel afraid to walk the street with their family or pick their child up from daycare wearing a hijab or any visible religious symbol. #NoHate – at Innisfil, Ontario
My job feels pretty rewarding today. My student made the news after meeting with Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland during a budget consultation she did with a small group of Ontario students. Props to Shyam for being such a well-spoken young man.
