The Britannia Support Society is pleased to have contributed donations towards a Playland Educational Field trip for Britannia marketing and phisics students and the support was much appreciated.
Everyone had a blast, and we definitely enjoyed a different way of learning. This year more students, from Marketing 11/12 and Physics 11/12, were able to attend the field trip. Students had to complete either a Physics or Marketing worksheet, which allowed us to see how Physics/ Marketing is applied to real life. We were able to physically experience circular motion on the Musical Express and learn which points of the roller coaster had more potential/kinetic energy. Without your generous contributions, this field trip wouldn’t have been possible. It truly means a lot, thank you very much.
This is for teams and sports operating after school and out of school for games, tournaments, practises, travelling, etc.

Her next tournament will be the Canada Cup #1 in Toronto in September. Good luck from the Brit Support Society, Ivy!
The BSS contributed to the Streetfront/Britannia trip over spring break to Patagonia (Southern Chile). The students completed the W-Circuit of the famous Torres del Paine hiking trek. This is the team’s official photo in front of the North, Central, and South towers … with the Bruins wearing their BSS sponsored team jackets. This was the second of the Street2Peak trips- you might remember the first, jackets also sponsored by your society, took our students to Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti in 2015. Photos of both trips can be found on the Street2Peak Facebook and web pages.
