An evening with FELA!

Our students with the cast of FELA!

On November 4^th   five WTCS students had the opportunity to see the Broadway Production FELA!  and visit backstage and meet the entire cast as well as the Ambassador of Nigeria.  FELA!  Is the story about Fela Kutu and his music that came from Nigeria.  He created a new kind of music, Afrobeat with lyrics to openly attack the corrupt and repressive military dictatorships that rule Nigeria and much of Africa.  It was an exciting experience for some of our WTCS students and a moment they will not forget!

Halloween Bookmark Contest a Great Success!

Every October our school Library holds a Halloween bookmark contest. All students from grades 9 to 12 have the opportunity to design their own bookmark.   Students vote for their favourite ones. Every year the top five are chosen as the winners and made into proper bookmarks that are given out free in the library. This year we had 87 entries made by the students and staff.  The library provides Gift Certificates for a local bookstore as prizes.  The bookmarks are a huge success.  They encourage students to show their creativity and love of reading. 

Congratulations to Ana who won 1^st and 2^nd prize, Genovieve who won 3rd, Quinn who won 4^th and Alexandria who won 5^th .
