Gauss Mathematics Contest (University of Waterloo) - Grades 7-8

The Gauss contests introduce students in Grades 7 and 8 to a broader perspective of mathematics in a fun, accessible way. Intriguing problems and a multiple-choice format make the Gauss contests a wonderful opportunity for all participants to grow their interest in and get curious about the power of math.

SCIENCE FAIR

Students in Grade 6-8 participate in the Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Science Fair.

Grade 5 students join the 6-8 students in our own King's Town School Science Fair. In doing so, students work through each step of the scientific method to gain comfort with scientific terminology and how to conduct a proper experiment.

HERITAGE FAIR

Students in Grade 5, 7-8 participate in our King's Town School Heritage fair and have the opportunity to present their projects at the Kingston Regional Heritage Fair.

Congratulations to our 2023 Award Winners!
