ANNOUNCEMENTS - MONDAY, MARCH 25, 2024

Get to class song: Up Side Down by Jack Johnson in honour of Cartoon week.

As we step into the final week of March, we want to commend each and every one of you for your commitment to our character focus: good judgement. Throughout this month, you've demonstrated wisdom, discernment, and thoughtful decision-making. Good judgement isn't just about making the right choices; it's about considering the consequences, understanding the impact of our actions, and choosing the path that aligns with our values. It's about being responsible, respectful and compassionate. Remember that your choices matter - both in the classroom and beyond. Whether it's how you treat your peers, how you approach your studies or how you contribute to our school community, your judgement shapes your character. As we wrap up March, let's continue to exercise good judgement. Be kind, considerate and be mindful of the impact you have on others.
