If in elementary school there was the teacher's lounge, it seems as though in high school, the place of great wonder and mystery is the student council room. As the center of school activities and fundraisers, the student council is constantly surrounded by rumours and questions by the student body.

Amongst the numerous interesting questions that circulate, such as, "Is it true that prom will be in a barn this year?" (No it isn't) and "Can you put air fresheners in the washrooms?" (That is not within the jurisdiction of the student council), a common theme that seemed to arise was the question, "What exactly is student council, and what have they/are they doing?"

One of the less known, yet engaging extracurriculars at White Oaks is book club. This year, it is run by Ms. Robinson and Ms. Sadeghi*, in room A210.

The club takes place once a month for an hour (3-4pm) after school on Mondays. The exact date for each month’s discussion is decided in the previous meeting and is sent out in an email afterwards.

You’ve all heard that high school is all about the clubs that you join, so it’s important that you chose the right club. In order to do that you have to know what you’re getting into. Debate is a good option to consider, especially the White Oaks Debate Team.
