Weekly Updates, Monday, 15 October, 2018

Dear colleagues,
This week we will land on the first milestone of the school year: Parent - Teacher Conferences and the fall break.
The first quarter of the year has been busy and varied with a number of planned and unplanned events,
Professional Learning, and busy student learning in the classrooms, as well as beyond the classrooms. One has
been able to observe very active, happy, and engaged learners as well as energetic and hardworking faculty
throughout the school every day. In the past week, we had a chance to speak with many parents during
the Sports Day and the Principal Coffee Morning, and the underlying tone and message were that they are very
excited and happy with the education their children are having access to.
Particularly, during the Coffee Morning parents were impressed with the students’ confidence, independence,
and respect of others when they observed student agency in the classrooms. Finally, congratulations to the
grade 5 team and students for getting through their camp despite the rainy start of the trip.
