Head Scratching Heroes!

Saturday 27th April 2013: Two teams of computer programmers from Moira secondary school took part in the Eastern Ontario Computer Programming Contest at Queens University in Kingston. The  problems this year were particularly challenging, last year's provincial champions only completed 2 problems in the 3 hours allotted. Moira's teams both completed one perfect solution. Late in the contest they both submitted partial solutions. Moira's Final placings were 8th (Alexander Mackenzie, Eric Dubé, Kurtis Bissett and Sohaib Haseeb) and 9th (Brendan Lennox, Lucas Steer, Emilee Carson and Andrew James)  Congratulations to all participants!

Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test

Welcome to the Moira Literacy Support website.  We are committed to providing supports for all students as they prepare to write the grade ten Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT).  Successful completion of the OSSLT is a graduation requirement and thorough preparation is recommended.  Students receive curriculum –based literacy training in their classes.  In addition to this, the following in-house workshops are in place to further support our students:
