The Bishop Strachan School

Using Tinkercad, our Grade 6 innovators designed and brought to life their very own 3D avatars. From concept to creation, they learned valuable lessons in digital modelling, problem-solving and 3D printing technology.

Beautiful music was provided by the Senior Choir and Senior Strings, along with a musical reflection of ‘Amazing Grace' performed by the Senior Vocal Class.
