This week in LEAP, we had 2 visitors from the Boarding House.

Today in LEAP, we attended an SEC workshop. SEC stands for sustainability enterprise consultants, and they talked to us about how we can find and sell sustainable products.

Grade 9 Expedition to Ladakh // NYAA
What Skills Have I Developed? How? There are many skills I have uncovered during this trip, some being physical and some mental.

Setting up tents and figuring out the campsite dynamics […]
