Mock Trials

On Saturday, a group of students from the Model UN and Debate fine art competed in a series of mock criminal trials at the Provincial Court House in Victoria. Our students, ranging from grades 8-12, worked tirelessly during their fine art period over the past month and a half to prepare for this day. Although we were surprised that we didn't advance to the semi-finals, the kids earned themselves a tremendous learning and life experience by navigating the 'legal waters' of this particular criminal case.

A huge thank-you to Mr. David Brooks, former parent and lawyer, who assisted in our team's preparation over the past few weeks—his assistance was invaluable.

Thank-you to Mr. Ken Ludwick who chose to spend the day supporting our team at the court house.
