The Science Olympics - one of the largest in-school event hosted at A.Y Jackson each year.
In 2011, a group of Grade 12 students - all avid science learners, in their graduating year ,gathered together to discuss a school wide event to promote science and share the love and passion they have to future students. They wanted to showcase the wonderful world of science using experiments and engaging activities to expand the interests of science and arouse curiosity. Using a "friendly compet
ition" format and enhancing teamwork and collobration, "Science Olympics" was born! This idea exponentially expanded as the science department became engrossed with the event very quickly. With the department on board, grade 11 enthusiastic science students soon followed and suddenly the whole school became involved. Subsequently, the first Science Olympics turned out to be a huge success! The former grade 12 students have graduated, and new groups of grade 12 students - equally if not more passionate about science - are carrying on the torch and continuing this exciting young tradition. Since 2011, A.Y Jackson has successfully hosted 3 Science Olympics accommodating hundreds of students,with added new activties each year showing exicting and innovative facets of science! Many of the junior high students that participated in the Science Olympics have come to A.Y pursuing academics in science. They are taking part as volunteers and even becoming organizers of the Science Olympics movement. This year, the new group of students have already begun planning to ensure that the upcoming Science Olympics will be bigger and better than the previous.
