Bus Stop

The bus stop in this picture is just outside the fence at Crescent. Stud3nts collect here to grab the bus to go to other activities, to their homes and to the shopping centre at York Mills and Bayview. Typically the students who take the bus are older and no longer expect a parent to pick them up at the end of the day. It is another way to chat with other students as you wait at the stop for your specific bus or even share a seat and chat as you ride to your destination. The only thing I dislike about the bus is when it is delayed and the sharp winter winds cut through you like a knife. It is then I wish I was back in the lower school waiting for my mom to pick me up in a warm car

Water Main

SCHOOLS OUT! This is a picture of a broken water main on Bayview Avenue in front of Crescent School, the Granite Club and the Bob Rumble Centre on November 13, 2007. School was shut down for the entire day because there wouldn’t be any running water in the school. This meant there would not be water for the toilets, hand washing and the drinking fountains. This problem allowed us to get out of school for the day, which extended are 5-day weekend into a 6-day weekend. However the city was right on the breakage and fixed it within 8 hours, which meant we had school on Wednesday. The problem of the aging water mains in and around the school has been a re-occurring problem. Regardless of this none of the students are complaining.

Robots

Crescent School is very competitive in the realm of robotics. We have had many winning robotic teams over the years and we continue to strive for excellence. We have even competed with teams in the United States. This club has grown significantly in popularity since it began. Both of these robots are hand built by students and faculty. Each robot is designed to complete a specific task such as picking up a ball and shooting it into a basketball net.

Robotics club is an opportunity for students who are interested in electronics and computer design to work as a team to build a robot and then to challenge their skills by competing with other schools. I enjoyed my experiences in the robotics club in middle school

Head Master

Mr. Roberts is the Head Master at Crescent School and he is regarded as a strong role model and leader for the student population. In this picture it is around 8am in the morning and he is greeting the students as they arrive at school. He does frequently and this is a good way for Mr. Roberts to stay in close touch with the students. His spirited “Good Morning” is also great way to start the day.

He ensures our school runs in an orderly fashion with a focus on a quality education with extra curricular activities including sports and the arts. He also organizes fundraisers and charities to donate to needy people or countries. He has a very responsible job and I think it is really great that finds time in his morning to meet the students as they arrive.

Creative Learning Centre (CCL)

The Centre for Creative Learning also known as the CCL is a recent addition to our school. This building is one of the focal points for students and teachers to gather at our school. It houses a theatre, a studio, and classrooms. We use this facility for multiple purposes, such as music and drama productions, classes, assemblies and meetings.
The theatre holds about 300 – 350 people at one time and is at easy access to all teachers and teachers. We are lucky to have the CCL because it has state of the art audio and visual technology.

Field House

The Field House, is a huge facility that holds 3 full size courts that can be converted into a playing area for tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, floor hockey, or basketball. These courts are enclosed by a track, and on one end there is change rooms and on the other there is a workout room. Our school is the first to have this state of the art complex. The space is used for many periods of gym and other activities that we host at the school. This space is also rented out for many recreational sport leagues and functions.
