Student Spotlight

We recently enjoyed having a visit from a former RHS student, Justin Patrick, as he shared with this semester's Career and Life Management (CALM) class the benefits of exploring the federal government's Senate Page Program for post-secondary students.

Justin shared some information on the perks of participating in The Senate Page Program, and how it offers students a paid opportunity to work within Canada’s parliamentary system, while attending one of the four universities in the National Capital Region.

Some of the responsibilities of this position includes assisting of Senators during Senate proceedings, supporting of committee clerks, and supporting the Usher of the Black Rod in preparing parliamentary ceremonies and visits.
Additionally students that participate in this program are expected to advertise the Senate Page Program through various presentations, events, and alumni program projects, such as what Justin shared with these RHS students that day.

CHS Stock Market Competition 

This competition involved teams from grades 10-12 from 4 different Westwind Division Schools each vying for a grand prize of $800. 

Over a period of 5 weeks students gained practical experience in stock markets through this competition, fostering a comprehensive understanding of trading practices. Participants were allocated virtual funds to engage in investment decisions within a risk-free setting. The purpose of this exercise consisted of a group presentation detailing the acquired knowledge, discussing their successes, errors, key insights, and the reasoning behind their trading activities within the simulated stock market.

Congratulations to Raymond High School's team "Making Cents" for emerging victorious by taking 1st place.

Way to go, "Making Cents" crew for crushing it in the competition!

Staff and students at Raymond High School were working together for this year's service project. The goal is to involve the entire school student body in a service initiative within our local community to give back. In partnership with the Town of Raymond, this year's project involved cleaning headstones at the Raymond Cemetery.

Following the service activity students enjoyed a lunch that was provided by this year’s School Council.

Our students have continually amazed us throughout the year with their desire and excitement to serve.  Approximately 30 students, named the Happy Helpers, have gathered twice a month to coordinate service projects within the community.  They have helped with a coat drive, Meals on Wheels, the Little Free Pantries, reading at the elementary school, and Adopt-a-Grandparent. They have also helped at the Lethbridge Soup Kitchen, organized the elementary Easter Egg Hunt, and spent their lunchtime cleaning up the schoolyard. 

They are inspiring! 

Congrats to Raybotics and ASAP both teams from Raymond! Each team triumphed in the zones division this year, earning spots in the provincials and landing 13th and 14th places out of 32 teams.

Students engaged in the FIRST Alberta robotic challenge, a program offering a range of mentor-led, team-oriented robotics challenges.

Robotics encompasses:

• Coding
• Engineering
• 3D printing

Excitedly anticipating the upcoming season and fundraising efforts for the next year.

Congratulations to RHS student Lauriane Zumbach for winning the bronze medal in this year’s Fashion Technology category.

The fashion technology industry focuses on the design and production of clothing and apparel. Students learn the fundamentals of good design including color theory, design history and textile properties. 

These fundamentals will lay the groundwork for pattern creation and drafting, technical illustrations, draping, and industrial sewing machine operation. Students learn how to present their collection through storyboarding, fashion shows, photoshoots and buyer’s presentations, as well as the business of fashion such as marketing, merchandising and costing.
