THANK YOU FOR A GR EAT YEAR!
As June has come to an end I want to thank ever yone for a great year. This is the year that we qualif ied as an International Baccalaureate Continuum World School, as we add the Diploma Programme beginning September 2012. Our Grade twelve s tudents are all graduating and going on to pos t-secondar y education. We wish them well, and hope to see them return each year as Alumni. All of the other children are moving up a grade, a measure of time passing, and of them growing into f ine young people. The summer holidays are coming, a time of renewal and res t and ref lection. Thank you to all of the teachers and s taf f who wor k so hard to make this a great school! Thank you, as well, to our parents who contribute daily as our par tners in making this an exceptionally warm and engaging community. Finally, thank you to our s tudents, whose curiosity and imagination and diligence and balance and humour makes this such a wonder ful place to learn and to wor k. Have a great summer‌ see you nex t year! - Mr. Hugh Bur ke, Headmas ter
