Dear Parents,

I would like to thank all those who attended our annual winter concert this past Friday.  It was great to be under the stars enjoying the wonderful sounds of our choir and band students.  Thank you for joining us in celebrating the holiday season and in celebrating the musical progress that our students have made.

In the last two weeks before the holiday the secondary school continues moving forward with our exams and activities, as we are more than halfway through our academic quarter.  This week our Grade 11 and 12 students will be taking their winter exams. Please note that grade 11 and 12 students are only required to be on campus when taking their exam.  If a student is absent for an exam, a doctors note must be provided in order to take the exam during the makeup exam session.
