On May 27th, four members of Rockway’s grade 11 German class participated in the University of Wilfrid Laurier German Contest 2016. The contest used a new model this year: each team had to create a video around a certain German-related theme. Teams had three hours to plan, script and film a short video in the morning […]
The grade 11 German class enjoyed a traditional German potluck dinner together. Each student brought in samples of a typical German food that they had researched and prepared for the class. And what a feast it was! We enjoyed “Apfel-Schorle” (a mixture of apple juice and Mineralwasser) for our drink. For the appetizers we had “Leberwurst mit Kneckebrot und Zwieback” […]

Eight students and two chaperones had an incredible two week experience in Guatemala from March 7 to March 20. Over way too fast, the physical, health, emotional and social challenges inherent with this trip provided for lasting memories and hopefully will impact everyone down the road as they deal with whatever life throws their way. […]
This year nine Rockway students and chaperones had the opportunity to leave home and travel to China for 18 days. I believe that all of us would agree that China was a life changing experience which provided us with memories that will last a lifetime. Not only did we get the chance to see and […]
