Weekly Update, Monday 7 March 2016

Dear colleagues,
This week has taken somewhat unexpected turn due to the Fielding Nair’s visit and the extent they would like to explore and guide us to make informed decisions about the future use of our facility. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and commitment to the process given the very short notice. We have a call out for mentors for the Exhibition. Due to the large group of students in Grade 5 we need everyone’s support to ensure successful learning for our students. Finally, on Tuesday morning before school, Heikki would like to share some of the questions related to our communication to the parents, and we want to share the new protocol for storing photograph. It is important that as many as possible attends the meeting. Have a great week!
