Hello Families,

One more full week of school and then a day and a half until the year is over! As usual, June is busy with tying up all the final pieces, as well as ensuring everything is set for next school year.

Grades and reports will be finalized this coming week, with report cards handed out at awards day. You are also invited to come out to Moberly Lake Provincial Park on June 24 for a morning of enjoying nature together as a school community.

Wishing you a great weekend,

Hello Families,

We are in our final push to get learning goals accomplished. Preparation for report cards and the final days of school is well under way. It’s always a busy but also exciting time. Our graduates are finishing their studies and preparing for their big day and we look forward to celebrating them soon!
