It‟s hard to believe that another school year is coming to an end. The last day of classes for all High School students is June 15th, the Junior High is June 20th, and the Elementary is June 22nd. That is when the real work begins, as our students will be writing exams from June 13th to June 27th. On June 9th, our annual Awards Ceremony was held. Report Cards will be given out and IPPs signedoff on June 24th for the Elementary, and June 28th for the Junior/Senior High. Homeroom Teachers and Teacher Advisors will be contacting parents to set-up appointments. This past month has not been all work as there were several events that put closure on our year. Congratulations to Ms. Patience, her production crew and the performers on their outstanding presentation of the “Hobbit”. The performance ran for four nights and was sold out for each performance. Congratulations are also in order to the students that participated on both the Junior and Senior High Track and Field teams. Both teams were proud representatives of the Academy and provided us with some outstanding performances. The Grade 9 Celebration was on June 7th, where Grade 9 student achievements were recognized and students were welcomed into the High School community. The Celebration was, once again, held at the Al Azhar Shrine Centre and we were all treated to an exceptional meal and an enjoyable evening. The premier event of the year was the Grade 12 Graduation Ceremony and Banquet, which was on June 3th. All 27 Grade 12 students crossed the stage at the Rozsa Centre. We are very proud of this fine group of young men and women. We congratulate them and wish them success in the future. All Rundle Academy students were
in attendance at the ceremony and should be commended on their deportment and support of our graduates. I hesitate to talk about next year at this point; however, there are some important dates for the 2011-2012 year that require some notice. September 1st will be the first day of school. The day will begin at 8:15 A.M. and end at 3:05 P.M. Buses will be running and full uniforms are required. Students may commence wearing summer uniforms on the 2nd. Our orientation camping trips are already booked and all of them will occur in the first couple weeks. Specific information will be forthcoming. All parents will receive a letter in early August outlining the start of the school year in more detail. Lastly, I would be remiss to end the school year without thanking our Academy community for helping us make 2010 -2011 such a successful year. Our school continues to improve and grow and it is because of the efforts of our students, parents and staff. Have a restful summer and we look forward to seeing you on September 1, 2011.
