Annual Booker's Run held at Blue & Silver Farm
Booker's Run is a much-loved tradition at Pickering College. On the first Monday of November, we held this annual run at Blue & Silver Farm. Every student from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 takes part in the race, which is named in honour of the late Keith McLaren, former PC coach, teacher and assistant Headmaster, who was know for doing everything "by the book." the book."
In the morning, there were three race divisions for the Junior School and Middle School students. In the afternoon, Alumnus Don McLaren '76, Keith's son, joined us as race starter for the Senior School races. Whether they ran all the way to the end or enjoyed a brisk walk around the farm, each student celebrated crossing the finish line with some refreshments before heading back to school. Puma was on hand for all the races to help celebrate each runner!
Congratulations to all the top finishers and everyone who participated in Booker's Run
Students share about Sustainable Development Goals on UN Day
Every year on October 24, we celebrate United Nations Day, commemorating the creation of the United Nations in 1945. As a UNESCO school, Pickering College marked this day with a Morning Meeting highlighting the Member States, the UN's sustainable development goals, and sharing how we as a school are building peace in the minds of children and young people.
Students from each division shared examples of how their classes are incorporating the sustainable development goals into their learning and how we as a school are contributing to creating peace in the world.
