EY Exhibition

Our first EY Exhibition opens for parents today.

We encourage all teachers to visit the Exhibition over the coming week. Please view the exhibits and  read the documentation – hopefully it will give you a glimpse into the power of play, the transdisciplinary nature of inquiry and how student voice and student choice is honoured in the EY.

There will be a large number of parents in the EY corridor between 9.10 -10.00 this morning, which may impact movement through the corridor for classes.

Graduation

Good morning all,

Saturday is our graduation ceremony for the class of 2024. This year the celebration and the dinner will be held in the PAC, unlike last year where the ceremony was in the gym, followed by dinner in the PAC. Because of that, unfortunately, the seating is limited to the graduates and the invited guests. My apologies for not clarifying that earlier; I didn’t realize that last year the ceremony was open to everyone because of the larger space. Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for any confusion.

The graduates will all be around campus on Friday morning for their senior check out, followed by a graduation rehearsal in the PAC from 11-12. Please feel free to come and wish them well at any point that morning!
