Testing day for some physicists At Gulf Islands Secondary. This team had a rather unique way of loading their machine (see pile of bricks on the left end). One team was able to toss a large water balloon about 90 meters.
Gulf Islands School of Performing Arts: The Night Circus
Butterfly!
Time to fly for this GISS Music and GISPA student at Butterfly, the Gulf Islands Secondary School end-of-semester music performance at ArtSpring on Salt Spring Island.
Instructor Bruce Smith helps students perform this kind of metamorphosis every year. It’s fascinating to see who’s going to steal the show each semester. (Two unique shows actually, Bruce—a kindred type A personality—just has to get every detail right. And thus is driven to produce two somewhat different shows Wednesday and Thursday nights)
This photo was taken during the dress rehearsal. Nice energy for a rehearsal; I just wish you could hear this photo!
p.s.
I look forward to another stunning performance from this young woman and her peers at GISPA’s Night Circus next week.
Gulf Islands Secondary Dance Performance
Saw the dress rehearsal for this year-end performance yesterday: great fun!
Show runs today and tomorrow at ArtSpring
Salt Spring Salads Opens
Near Mahon Hall: high school students survive local paparazzi on opening day.
The GISS Culinary Program have been impressive the last few years. Now they’ve opened the Salt Spring Salads food cart. And they have the fresh goods to back it up. The school garden, the hydroponic greenhouse, and the living lettuce wall (and I’m sure some things I don’t know about) are coming together to provide employment for students through the summer with proceeds funding culinary program projects back at the school. Check them out today (Saturday) at Mahon Hall.
