Dear all,
Our Annual Report 2024 books have arrived! On Thursday afternoon, they will be ready in your mailbox for distribution on Friday for Homerooms and Advisory. As in previous years, the youngest child in each non-staff family will receive one copy to take home. Each staff member will receive one copy in their mailbox for themselves.
If you have any questions about distribution or the Annual Report, please contact Samantha.
Best,
Kyle
Dear Grade 9 Students
At the beginning of Advisory today, please meet me at the First Floor of the The Hub so I can share some information about the GCD Launch that you will participate in on Thursday.
Please bring your computer as you will have some time after I speak with you to check your reports.
Cheers
Mr Corbett
