Armbrae Academy

Armbrae Academy is pleased to announce the recipient of the 2012 John Stone Award. The award was established in 2010 to recognize the qualities of humanity, empathy, ethics, respect for the dignity of others and/or service to others. Students apply for the award by presenting a case for a humanitarian leadership opportunity. This could be through an existing organization, or a project of their own design. This year's winner is Stephanie Robertson-Kempton, a Grade 11 student who feels passionately about supporting the Cambodia Arts and Scholarship Foundation. Stephanie's project will aid in the education of girls and young women who are typically excluded from educational opportunities.

Congratulations to Amrit Sampalli, class of 2013, for winning this year’s Brain Bee at Dalhousie University. As winner of Dal's Brain Bee, Amrit will compete in the National Brain Bee at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. in late May. 

Congratulations to Danielle Dube, class of 2004, who has been named to Canada's Olympic team. She is Nova Scotia's first-named 2012 Olympian, and will be sailing in the laser radial class. For full details, see this story in the Chronicle Herald.
