St. Stephen’s School in Valleyview, proudly celebrates the remarkable achievement of student Elianna Eagles, who earned a bronze medal at the 2025 Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF) held in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Elianna’s project, “From Crises to Catalysts: Harnessing Algae’s Power with a Cost-Effective, Buoyant Biophotovoltaic,” explores using algae’s photosynthetic processes to generate sustainable energy.

Science teacher Mrs. Kathryn Gauthier, who attended the event, expressed immense pride in both students, stating, “Competing at the Canada-Wide Science Fair is already a major accomplishment — bringing home a medal is an extraordinary achievement.”
In addition to her bronze medal, Elianna was awarded a $3,000 scholarship to Mount Allison University in New Brunswick and a $1,000 scholarship to Western University in Ontario.
