Thanks to those who have submitted for carefully labeling your bells and dropping them off in the correct folders. This year we have had -no- metronome ticks and I’m really happy!

Dear Super Mario and New Thang, who are you and where do you come from?

Dear MostAnnoyingBellEver, did you not hear the grade 9 bell from last year?

Please keep the bells coming! I’d love to have some PYP bells, especially as we want to play something you’ve picked while the MYP/DP students are away on trip week.

Excited? I know, right?

Here’s what you’re doing, who you’re doing it with and where you’re doin’ it!

Grade 6 – Organisation/getting to grips with MYP – Mrs Bezzerides – and your class location is on your schedules already. You are good to go.

For the rest of you, Life101 is ALWAYS Day 8, Block 2:

Grade 7 – Organisation – yep, we’re still getting to grips with MYP! – Mrs Moen and Mr Marsh will be your guides on this journey. Please go to D213 for your first session.

Grade 8 – Relationships – Mrs Bezzerides and Mr Underwood – PAC

Grade 9 – Growing up Digital – Mrs Johnson and Mr Morin – upstairs in the Design Centre

Grade 10 – Health and Physical Well-Being – Mr T – and, I’m guessing here, but one of the gyms?

Grade 11 – UNIQUEST – me, myself and I – MYP LGR. You will need something to write with and your computers.

Grade 12 – hang out. Diploma Lounge or library only, not Café or McD’s! Dr Saavedra will no doubt drop in to say ‘hi’.

(Can you hear everyone NOT in Grade 12 yelling, ‘No fair!’ ?)
