Is Military School the Right Choice?

Fri, 2011-10-14 10:57 -- Captain A. Spaan

Many parents of boys ponder the notion of sending their son to military school at least once in their life.  Are you one of them?  Why is this?  It may be because you see such incredible potential in your son which he is wasting - and you are frustrated by this. The evidence of this wasting potential is often failing grades, conflicting values between family and friends, disruptive behaviour at school and at home, and low self-confidence.

The Robert Land Academy Climbing Team competed at its first competition on November 20, 2011 at Peaks Climbing Gym in St. Catharines, Ontario.  Two RLA students, Paul B and Brendan W both competed throughout this three hour competition. 

All competitors were free to climb any of the 45 routes that were set.  If they were successful at their climb they received a point value based on the difficulty of each climb.  Their six highest scoring climbs were added together to give their total score.

Wednesday, October 5, 2011 – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!  After three long days, the cadets of Canada’s only private military school have covered nearly 90 kilometres of the Niagara Region, arriving at Brock’s Monument at Queenston Heights just past 11 am today. 

Early Monday morning, groups of cadets departed Robert Land Academy.  Those who have completed this exercise in previous years knew what lay ahead.  For new students however, the prospect of what was to come brought excitement, anticipation and a little trepidation.

Tuesday, October 4, 2011 – After a good night’s sleep and a breakfast of hot oatmeal, the cadets were ready to start the second day of their adventure.  The constant rain from the prior day ensured that the trails for today remained muddy and slippery.  However, as the group stepped off there was hope for better weather as the sun was trying to peak through the clouds.
