Principal’s Message
Welcome back to school everyone! We are hoping you had a restful and enjoyable break. It is hard to believe we are into 2026. As always, we are off to a running start. Classrooms are back in full swing and our numerous extra-curricular activities and clubs are continuing, with offerings that include: lunch time chess club, after school floor hockey, learn to swim group, quiet club, Be You girls club, as well as a few others. Thank you to all our fabulous staff who volunteer their time for these activities. We also have groups coming in to support classes in learning; BCSPCA, and student nurses presenting the “Do Bugs Need Drugs” program.
