Grades 6-10 students: There are still volunteer spots open for the PTA Autumn Festival this Saturday, October 31. Sign up for Shift 2 (5:45 – 8:00pm) on Veracross. You can come at 4:30 and enjoy the Haunted House and the games and then volunteer for the second half of the event. Always lots of fun!
Volunteers also need to buy a ticket. Buy them from the Admissions Office opposite the library during morning break or lunch. 50 rmb cash only. Volunteers will receive a free food voucher.
Grade 10 students and the Grade 9 Leadership Team will launch the GCD (Global Citizen’s Diploma) to G9 students to day at 11.45am in the PAC. G9 students will be treated to a range of stories connected to the GCD competencies and core values from Grade 10 students in camp fire style groupings. If any teachers are free at this time and would like to take part or observe to find out more about the GCD, please come along. All staff (from across the school) are welcome.
A friendly reminder that Upper School learners have two locations for dining at lunch: the Centre Cafe and the Cafeteria.
Please refrain from ‘order and collect’ at the gate. Lunch off-campus (Grade 11 and 12) also remains unavailable until further notice.
