The first day of school is an exciting time for all students.

For the Grade 4s at the Primary Campus and the Grade 8s and Grade 12s at TEAM School and the Main Campus, they realize that they are the senior students now and are “mentors” to the rest of the student body. The Grade 5s at the Main Campus have fun exploring the “big school” and the Grade 9s at TSS and Mentor start to see some of the independence (and the responsibility that goes with it) that high school brings.

And as for our junior kindergarten students, this is the level for whom yesterday was the first day at our school for EVERYONE. Vice-principal Mrs. Talarico reports that everyone in JK had a great day but that bedtime might have been just a little bit earlier than usual last night. Getting accustomed to a busy school day doesn’t apply to the students only, of course…I doubt that Mrs. Pengelly, Miss Kane and Mrs. Owens will be awake to see the 11:00 news until next week either!
